Coffee Not Helping Me This Morning

It is already 10:30 A.M. here and I already had 2 strong coffees. But my brain is still full of cobwebs and my body is stiff as an old boot.
I just wish I could get going! The sun is out and the sky is of a beautiful blue color. So that is not the weather affecting me.
I sure do not appreciate mornings like this one.
Need a pep talk for sure!

. We have loads of things to do today and the kids are not even up yet (and they can't have coffee 
). I am told that holding your breath wakes you up when you're tired, but I haven't tested that out yet.

Im a little groggy this morning, b ut other than that doing okay.
Maybe take a nice hot shower and see if that will help loosen up those stiff muscles and wake you up?

@Debscrochet don't understand why taking vitamins then would help.

I'm feeling spacey this morning because I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. It's going to be a loooooong day for me today, I hope I can get myself together too!

Yes when I get really bad like that, coffee does not work.
Sometimes I have to go get one of those energy drinks and even then it may not work.
I hope this day will give you some fuel later on Marlina.

@marlina Oh dear sorry to hear it Marlina. Maybe just take it easy today and get going tomorrow hopefully.

@TiarasOceanView I have no choice of taking it easy on days like that.
Hope for tomorrow to be better.

A cup of coffee would do me no good, but make me jittery

@CookieMonster46 But I do eat my breakfast, not just drink coffee.

@marlina no, I will rather have some fruit or something to eat to give me the fuel I need for the day.

@Courtlynn Yes, it is better be a good day tomorrow to compensate for the lousy day of today.

You can only hope to "shake" it off later in the day.

This also happened to me in some occasions. I have enough caffeine but I still feel sleepy! Someone told me that the body could develop some resistance to caffeine, not sure though if it's true. That's why when I'm sleepy and coffee is not enough, I'll eat a small snack to keep me awake.

@marlina well, snacking didn't work for me at some point too. There seems to be certain days that our body just wants to snooze despite of the stimulants we take. Just last morning, I basically drained two mugs of coffees yet I almost slept during our meetings.

@marlina Maybe you need some sleeps and rest so that you will gain more stamina and not tired there.
