Caffeine must be one of, if not the, most used drug. It is vital to the operation of more or less every industry.

The software industry would stall out, mass unemployment, dramatically more car crashes. Coffee, black and green tea, most soda, and some drugs would disappear from shelves and stores. Coffee shops would all close, you'd be able to get pretty much just water with your big Mac, midol takers would be furious and in pain, ADHD people would have to try harder to fall asleep. For lack of a better term, there would be a rubber band effect apocalypse while the shadow markets got set up and supplies

Does caffeine help individuals with ADHD in sleeping in some way?

[โ€“] hellishharlot 2 points 1 year ago

For some it helps them fall asleep. I had a friend in HS who would drink a monster before bed. I have a friend who currently only has coffee after 5pm to make sure they don't fall asleep earlier. It's anecdotal for sure but it works for them
