Have you experienced the crushing, miserable pangs of anxiety? Many of us have. I remember the time I initially realized I had some kind of anxiety troubles clearly. I, like many, was at work and a deadline was coming up quite rapidly for an essential project I'd been assigned, and my boss walked into my office and demand to know what the status was. Fear washed over me and drenched me like a bucket of ice cold water.
I was cold to the touch, but nevertheless somehow had a sweat layer suddenly appear all over my body starting with my brow, top of my head, and hands. What could I say? I had been procrastinating. The obvious truth is that my anxiousness was implicitly caused by a type of behavioral problem, yes, but also a neurochemical imbalance (which I was causing!). I had been drinking an average of six to seven mugs of coffee every single day to keep the momentum going, and this was obviously quite excessive.
What I did not at the time understand is that all of the coffee consumption was ultimately unnecessary. As a matter of fact, every single cup full that I drank increased my dependence to a greater degree, and by the next couple of weeks was only covering up the fundamental symptoms of withdrawal that the coffee had itself manufactured. This constant coffee consumption was causing my moods and stress system to alternate with violence from one end of the spectrum to the other all entirely dependent on my blood level of caffeine.
One of the number one ways that caffeine can manage to knock us off balance is by disturbing night time rest. Coffee has a long half-life of approximately 4 or 6 hours and this implies that a mere one half of the caffeine in your bloodstream is removed six hours later. This results in the fact that depending on the overall quantity you imbibed, and the time you drank it, coffee can interfere with your ability to receive those deep, more restorative layers of sleep.
What does this mean? It means that when you wake up in the morning after you are indeed going to be quite sleepy, and maybe even just a little bit irritable. The next step in the cycle is that you will get yourself hyped for that morning pot of fresh brewed coffee, and perhaps because you feel so drowsy you will imbibe just a little bit more than you really need and inevitably place yourself on the verge of a panic attack... and all you need is just the trigger to set the ball in motion.
