Caffeine kick.

I've never been one to say I must have a cup of coffee every morning. I know many people who need their caffeine kick in the morning before they do anything otherwise they just don't function well. But since I don't feel that caffeine affects me that much since I can still pretty much sleep soundly even after having a cup of coffee or multiple cups of tea, I never really understood this caffeine kick.

However, I think today is the first time ever I drank coffee because I was hoping for a caffeine kick. I had an exam in the morning and since I haven't been waking up early for the past weeks, I knew that it would be difficult for me to focus on the exam. So first thing I did was make myself a cup of coffee in hopes that it would jolt my brain awake for long enough.

And it worked! Caffeine takes about 45 minutes to kick in and is meant to last between 2-4 hours. My exam was at 9.45am and I think those numbers are more or less accurate as I had my coffee at half 8 and by the end of the exams I could feel that my brain had slowed down a little in comparison to the start of the exam where I wrote my essays pretty quickly.

Has this converted me to a daily coffee drinker though?

Nahh. Other than exams and assignments I don't think I need to give my brain that kick on a daily basis. Well at least not now, maybe when I start working.

If you're wondering how I prefer to take my coffee?

Black with two sugars.
