Caffeine Consumption to Stay Up By: Arek and Tawni
Identifying the Problem • Scenario: Someone who is working long hours and consuming a lot of caffeine to keep going. • The problems of people drinking coffee to stay up can be a physical issue, a mental issue, and a social issue. If you are having more than 300mg of coffee a day it will end up having a negative effect.
Physical Issue: • You will look strained and very tired • Raises your heart rate and increases blood flow • Raises body temperature so you will be hot • Will have to urinate more often • Will be very fidgety
Mental Issue: • You will be very grumpy • Will experience sudden energetic outbreaks • Might have trouble coping without coffee • Can end up having a headache • Excessive sleepiness • May feel like you cannot function properly • Can’t focus properly
Social Issue: • Might have troubles keeping a conversation • Won’t be able to sit through long presentations • Might stutter when talking • Won’t be able to think straight which might cause you to say the wrong thing
Solution • An end to this problem might take any where between a few days and a few weeks. Some ways to wean yourself off coffee could be getting more sleep the night before a long shift. If you're getting up early then go to sleep earlier. Working out and eating a healthy breakfast in the morning will give you lots of energy to get through your day! If you're feeling tired throughout the day having a healthy snack and some water will boost your energy level as well. If you limit your coffee intake eventually you wont need it to survive.
