How Does Caffeine Keep Us Awake


Caffeine is so effective, the Olympics has restricted the amount of caffeine content you can have in your body during competition. That means it is a very powerful drug.


Most adults fein for the chance to drink another cup of coffee, because we are in a constant state of lethargy.
