Caffeine attracts those who long for a quick energy jolt
By Runt Murphy
For the Daily
What does a double mocha latte have
that attracts a stressed-out college stu-
dent? Caffeine - our best friend when
our bodies need sleep and we want to
stay awake.
Caffeine is a plant product that is
most commonly found in coffee, tea and
soft drinks. According to University
Health Services, its effects can begin as
soon as 15 minutes after consumption
and can last up to six hours.
A UHS informational booklet noted
that physiologically, caffeine increases
body temperature and blood pressure,
among other things. This translates into
an artificial alertness due to the stimula-
tion of the nervous system.
Thoughts flow more easily and read-
ily, attention span and motor activity
increase, and fatigue and drowsiness
decrease. "I've discovered that during
exam periods those caffeinated coffees
are very valuable in keeping my eyes
open," first-year Engineering student
Nicole Felpdpausch said.
Taken in excess (more than 200-300
milligrams per day), caffeine can cause
unwanted side-effects such as insomnia.
"Every individual is different, and
the way in which caffeine effects some-
one varies from person to person," said
UHS dietician Marilyn Nakamato.
James Boynton, an LSA senior, said,
"I think I'm in denial about my need for
that 'hopped-up feeling' that caffeine
gives you. I always have a hot cup ofjoe
in the morning, but if I'm going to have
a long night, I justeat Rice Krispies
treats or Pixy Stix - that usually keeps
me going:'
When used in moderation, caffeine
can be a great study aid, but then again,
nothing beats a good night's sleep.
