So "everyone" drinks coffee or tea to wake up and get energy.
But every time I drink coffee or tea I feel tired, sleepy and a little bit dizzy..the heat makes me feel like that. I'm pretty sure this is normal but does anyone know what I mean?

[and I heard that people with adhd get tired after drinking stuff like that but I don't have adhd so...? just saying]

    Whether I drink caffeinated or decaf, I always get sleepy. Some people are wired differently. I was told that it can have this effect on people with ADHD/ADD.

        o my! the 1st comment is wrong... what i mean is its possible!! :p
        coffee do contain caffeine, caffeine are stimulants, and stimulant means to stimulate and doesnt directly means that u need to be awake!
        our body reacts differently depending on some factors (w/c i dont know... :))
        based on my experience... (BTW im a heavy-coffee drinker) when u r addicted or dependent on a certain thing, u just tend to be accustomed to it and everytime u take it, its effect lessens... thats why now im putting 4 teaspoon of coffee on my daily mug because the effect that im looking for is not achievable on lesser amounts...
        also accrdng to studies, the side effects of caffeine is, itll make u more tired, drowsy and ull experience palpitations when the stimulating effect is gone.

        stimulants differs to depressants... what u r experiencing is possible but i can say that its not normal because ur body reacts differently...

    Yes, I have this occur too. Caffeine always makes me feel really dizzy and exhausted after I drink it.

    I wish I could feel the same way 'everyone else' feels after drinking it, but no such luck.

    Could be the temporary effect of the warm milk or cream. When I drank coffee, I even got tired if it had whitener in it. Black coffee never made me tired.

      Hot milk does make people sleepy. I used to put vanilla and sugar in it. I'd be knocked out!

    It's normal. Different people react differently to what they intake. You may want to try fruit. Certain fruit could wake you up and it's healthier. Cold fruit will give you that extra wake up slap.
