I would classify the effects of caffeine as more anti-drowsy than energy-boosting but maybe that is just semantics.
I haven’t had any caffeine in my diet for nearly 2 months now and I feel amazing.
I'm pretty sure you're right. Without looking it up to correct myself I'm pretty sure caffeine blocks receptors for the tired stuff.
Yes - the tired stuff is a substance called adenosine.
