Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant found in coffee, tea, chocolate, and many energy drinks. While it boosts alertness and performance, it can also increase cortisol, disrupt sleep architecture (especially when consumed after 2pm), worsen anxiety, irritate the gut lining, and cause acid reflux. Caffeine sensitivity varies widely between individuals based on genetics and liver enzyme activity.
