Nothing bad about coffee unless you're trying to overdose on caffeine or something.

Just don't use coffee as an excuse to pull all-nighters, because THAT backfires. I see no problem with drinking coffee for the health benefits.

I drank a (probably too much) coffee in the HSC; I had to pull a few 2am finishes to get assignments done in the stressful periods. But that's just because I was unorganised

Nothing wrong with coffee; you can develop a little bit of a dependence on it to stay awake though, just be wary of that!

Just don't drink it too much, too often  because having a lot of coffee will make you tired in fact This is because more adenosine receptors (in charge of the level of tiredness) are produced because the caffeine is suppressing it the pre-existing ones. Therefore, your body initiates a positive feedback that produces more adenosine receptors, so once you get off caffeine there will be an excessive amount of adenosine receptors left than before you had caffeine/coffee which will lead you to feel sluggish and tired.

hahahaha you make coffee sound like some sort of drug, like alcohol or cigarette

But in all seriousness, I've read in a book some time ago that coffee in moderate amount is actually good for you as long you don't put too much sugar. So a cup or two a day is perfectly okay, just as long you don't use it excessively to try to keep yourself awake.

See it as a little boost to your alertness, not being dependent on it. Ideally you should be recharge and be refreshed by getting plenty of sleep, not by relying on coffee

What about taking caffeine pills
To stay up and study or do assignment s
Like a few days before exams
Is it worth doing that
And its not like it will be too bad
?

Wouldn't caffeine pills have TOO much caffeine compared to coffee?

Coffee is a drug, just like alcohol and methamphetamine Just goes to societal acceptance of certain forms of consciousness-altering states.

I hate coffee..too bitter. However it helped me stay awake for 44 hours before my english prelims to memorise 3 essays and a creative.

Awake for 44 hours? That's messed up; please don't do that again this year!

Finally found someone that hates coffee as well! I would prefer tea x1000 over coffee anytime

Yeah really bad experience..had 4 hours sleep in 2 days of english exams because I was unorganised and didnt start memorising early on. It affected my other exams..had bio straight after paper 2 and I was literally half asleep so bombed out so hard..everyone was surprised with my mark. Atleast I have found something about my self is that I have a good short term memory so before HSC 2 weeks is more than enough to memorise everything properly.
