ADHD and Coffee ☕️😬 

Need to go to sleep? Have a cup of coffee!

It does all three effects for me. Even after half a strength of coffee I will bounce all over the place and then within half an hour run to the bathroom (lol) and then I crash hard and pass out lolol. For me I have to have a cup of black tea to help me with any sort of energy from it (and not pass out) lol

Coffee puts me to sleep after about 30-45 minutes of hyper focus. So if I time it right I can finish up the days tasks then hit the hay

Now I’m gonna go play Animal Crossing.

For me it makes me a little sleepy but also switchs on my brain

coffee gives me the hyper focus I need to study

Makes my mind clear and focused enough to sleep if that makes sense. A lot of my adhd symptoms cause my insomnia (overthinking, restlessness, racing thoughts/ideas), so having something like coffee or tea gives me the benefit of boosting my dopamine enough to avoid that, but not boosting my energy levels enough to be productive to work (like my meds do).

It's funny, coffee makes me jittery in the body and mind, but it also helps me concentrate at work. Even funnier, I had a much bigger dependence on coffee in my teens and early to mid 20s to the point I was drinking a whole pot a day. Now, I'm either too distracted by work or something else I'm doing to make coffee, or I completely forget to make some. Unrelated, but your little voiceover here makes me think of Animal Crossing villagers and how they speak. It's kinda cute ngl.

Lmao. During the first hour of consuming caffeine, I do get very hyperactive and talkative. I tend to also feel happier, but once 2-3 hours has passed, I feel relaxed and calm, minus the hyperactivity. However, sometimes the opposite can happen. I've noticed increased anxiety & intrusive thoughts from consuming caffeine, and as a result, I get very moody. This tends to happen whenever I haven't eaten or slept well Andddd, I can also end up feeling very tired and sluggish, so I end up falling asleep. This tends to happen most of the time 😭

It makes me sleepy 😫 20 minutes after consumption, you'll find me moving like a sloth. 40 minutes, I'm out. 😂

I love the little voice 🥺❤

I don't drink coffee, it's not good taste for me, like sour and bitter, really? Otherwise it's sleepy juice.

For me it doesn’t affect me at all

I don't like coffee. It does nothing to me and tastes rubbish. I like hot chocolate more. I do have ADHD.

For me i just feel drunk.. drinking coffee or any caffeinated drinks

coffee, if I let my adenosine wake me up first, really does lower my adhd symptoms. It makes me feel less lazy and more productive, the goblin in my brain that makes my room a mess, steals my things and puts them in random places leaves me alone and goes into his little cave. if I only my parents would believe I have a disorder so I could be medicated instead of having to rely on coffee😔I also need coffee if I want to say what i want to say without it being a jumbled mess

Something i love about my adhd is i can chug a monster energy at 3 in the morning and fall asleep like a baby

Yeah, I’m in the ladder camp. Caffeine helped me focus and helps me focus because my brain just goes so fast that it causes me to have headaches in the afternoon. So it’s less that it gives me energy or relaxes me. It’s more than it helps you my brain well it’s like 100 miles an hour. Also didn’t know that I was diagnosed with depression disorder.

and for some adhd folks, caffeine is like m*the, EXTREME ENERGY OVERDOSE

Caffeine has never seemed to work consistently with me, I’ve been having some during work and it might help but only for a couple hours if I try more past that it doesn’t work.

I get like 3m of hyper concentration, focus and strength…. Then you can find me on the ground…. I tried a pre workout once… fell asleep in the gym

I avoid it not because it makes me hyper but because i have one kidney. So caffeine isn’t the best thing for me but on the times i have drank it it really doesn’t affect me

I have both types of ADHD and when I drink caffeine I get really hyper and I shiver a lot, then almost pass out with the sleepy after effects.

Coffee can be adhd medicine at times Cafine basically tells ur brain to shut up and do ur job (For some ppl)

Cofee makes me feel relaxed but the more I use it the more dose I need to feel the same effect. What should I do? I have a healthy and balanced diet but I think my coffee addiction is pretty bad...

Coffee doesn't give me energy or makes me feel not tired but it does make me think in a way where as im more perceptive and i can think about things more clearly

For me the first couple of cups do nothing and then around the tenth cup time stops existing.

Voiceover is from the Binars 😂

i have diagnosed adhd and any caffeine such as coffee and any energy drinks make me rly nauseous and make me feel tired

Thats me! I need my coffee in the morning to help me settle down, organize my thoughts, and get to work.

It knocks me out 😅

I always relied on coffee to relax and focus. Makes my life serene. It is beautiful

Not a big coffee drinker, but I have found caffeine helps increase my focus, especially with a high dose. I find coffee too bitter for my taste, but I enjoy tea, and will periodically have an energy drink here and there if its a particularly bad morning. I try to be mindful of my consumption habits to lower risk of dependancy

Coffee keeps me awake but it doesn't keep me productive. I'm just exhausted and awake. Bad combo 😂

Coffee makes me feel awake at night and exstreamly active and nervous during the day

I don’t drink coffee, I normally get a hot chocolate before class at Uni. But on a particularly bad day, I decided to try a vanilla matcha latte because I had done research about matcha’s calming effects. I figured it would help me deal with the anxiety I was feeling at the time. Welp. It did. I was so low-key after having that drink that I could have mistaken myself for dissociating. That’s how I ended up researching and learning about the ADHD caffeine paradoxical effect. In retrospect, I realized that I had probably always reacted to caffeine that way - it was just heightened by the calming effect of the matcha.

Coffee gets me tooooooo much energy but I can get a lot of things done and focus on things I need too. But I try to avoid coffee because I won't sleep that day.

I’m the second boat, it doesn’t necessarily relax me but I feel warm when I drink it and when it’s winter time that’s relaxing.

Don’t drink coffee but I drink coke for the exact reasons here.

It's just helps me focus/relax🤠

It makes my mind race and makes me jittery but i need to stay awake

Ioh hod .God god oh God oh God ho gofs

I believe that those who feel hyperactive are not adhd

Beep

I just feel tired when I have sugar

Coffee mellows me out, it doesn’t make me sleepy, but I’m depressed so it just clears the way for the emotional exhaustion to kick in 😅
