This so reminds me of the old internet, when Reddit was still just about “look at this funny shit I found”
Undiagnosed ADHD life.
As a caffeine addict, having a little bit in the evening actually helps me sleep.
This is common for ADHD
It’s common for addicts, and ADHD peeps are commonly addicts.
No it’s common for ADHD ppl because most stimulants have a paradox reaction. That’s why you get meth and amphetamines. I mean most are also caffeine addicts. But it doesn’t work because we are addicts
That’s a debunked claim from the 80’s as it happens.
Well you source is kinda … bad. In medicine a paradoxical reaction is described as a reaction which is basically unexpected. Your source is throwing things together that are not right in this way. It basically conflated research over methylphenidate, a very common ADHD medication, with all stimulants and a lot of narcotics.
Methylphenidate has no paradox reaction, because it also works in non ADHD children - just not as strong. While there are not systematic medical trials on Coffein there are a lot of weaker studies on it that show a high amount of evidence that it has a calming effect. The discussion here is if this isn’t the same in the normal population too, not if it has a calming effect.
The source you had makes claims and then does not show any evidence for these btw.
I hear caffeine helps some people calm the fuck down.
It’s named Sleepytime and has extra caffeine?
Boring real explanation:
The tea is called “Sleepytime Extra”
The product link is likely supposed to say “Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Extra Caffeine Free Tea” but is truncated.
So it is tea that is free of extra caffeine?
It’s sleepytime “extra” because it has extra sleepytime stuff (relaxing herbs or whatever)
And it’s caffeine free because it’s caffeine free.
Another boring real explanation :(
Needs more jpeg, but the packaging looks like it says extra sleepy time at the bottom left and caffeine free top right
Caffeine can help you go to sleep, but you won’t stay asleep.
