Lesson Overview

34.8 – How Caffeine Affects Mood, Focus, and Anxiety: Caffeine can be both helpful and harmful depending on how you use it. A small dose sharpens focus and boosts alertness, but too much can leave you jittery and anxious. When caffeine wears off, energy crashes can trigger irritability or brain fog. Your body also adapts to caffeine, meaning you may need more over time to feel the same effect. It’s best to drink it earlier in the day and pair it with food to avoid mood swings. If you notice caffeine makes your heart race or thoughts spin, try cutting back gradually. Replacing energy drinks with water or herbal tea gives your system a break. Understanding how your body reacts helps you use caffeine as a tool instead of a crutch. Real energy comes from rest, hydration, and balance—not just a quick buzz. Moderation keeps your mind focused and emotions even.
