A few interesting facts (from wikipedia):
Melting point: 237 C
Boiling point: 178 C (sublimes)
Acidity: 10.4
LD50 (leathal dose to 50% of adults; when you know you had to much!) 13-19 gram or 140-180 cups of coffee.
THE CAFFEINE LORD IS YOUR GOD!
So, what are you waiting for? Let caffeine into your brain, and thou shalt be saved! Atleast until it wears off.
also, has anyone done studies to show that slow-moving and low-metabolism people actually benefit from caffeine similar to a Vitamin Supplement?
this is my gut-feeling but i am always kind of hoping someone would discover it scientifically.
The above is a pretty accurate description of myself before they diagnosed Hashimoto's! Now, my drug of choice is thyroxine, it replaces what my body should have been producing naturally for the past three decades. Before I started the meds, I was a pretty heavy caffeine drinker, now I've been able to cut it back to four cups of milky tea per day. So while it didn't act as a vitamin supplement, caffeine did help a bit in keeping me going. Not exactly a life-saver, but certainly a job saver, stopped me from falling asleep/slipping into a coma at my desk!

not quite what I meant.
I take vitamins for vitamin deficiencies. I drink coffee for awake-alert-and-moving-about deficiencies.

THE CAFFEINE LORD IS YOUR GOD!
More interesting still. Concider the following logical propositions:
Caffine is God.
God is or is not.
God can't be destroyed.
A human being is a collection of chemicals working as a system.
X is a human being.
X consumes caffine.
X becomes God.

If you're sleepy constantly during the day talking to a doctor may be advisable (could be low blood sugar, zinc defiency, iron defiency, all kinds of other problems). Get a blood test.
Then I have to have it throughout the day to stimulate me (drinking cola, tea, Irn Bru, and anything else that contains it) otherwise i start feeling drowsy and then eventually fall asleep
Pikachu definately bows before the god known as Caffeine, the lord of stimulation
Pikachu also hails Gareth, for he knows caffeine is the lord of stimulation
If you accept caffeine as your stimulant and saviour, you will be saved from the damnation of tiredness.
Have had them.
According to physicals and the blood-drive people, my blood has enough iron in it for me to use it (ie I'm not exactly anemic), but not enough to donate it. I do take iron supplements anyway.
I am apparently not as thyroid-deficient as I will be later in life, so it's not time to take those medications yet.
I do take zinc...
Etc. etc.
If you accept caffeine as your stimulant and saviour, you will be saved from the damnation of tiredness.
The Divine Fluffalizer agrees. Rejoice! One of your toes has now been declared holy. (which one however, shall forever remain a mystery)
...maybe I should go get myself some of the aforementioned stimulant.
Yeah, in Spanish it's la cafeína....
