Sugar rush does work for me, but after some hours the effect wears off and I'm getting really depressed. So I try to avoid that and usually grab some Darjeeling or Earl Grey instead to stay awake (because I don't like the taste of coffee).

Lately however I had more troubles going to sleep than staying alert, so I switched to herbal tea for the time being.

Why can you no longer drink coffee, Espy? Is it a temporary thing or do you have to change your entire habits now?

Long story short, I drank coffee every day during my internship and went home for a weekend, and from then on, my stomach has refused to cooperate w coffee. I don't know why.

Guess you were meant for energy drinks instead

Huh. That's weird.
I hope your stomach will eventually calm down, or you find a suitable alternative.

Could be the acidity of the coffee maybe? Just curious, but have you tried cold brew coffee?
It could be other reasons of course, I'm just theorizing.

Perhaps. Not sure why it was so sudden.

I have been meaning to try cold brew; haven't had the time to find it.

I've found a few varieties in stores, but had pretty good success making it on my own as well. All you need is some coarsly ground coffee, water, a couple pitchers or jars, and a fine mesh strainer. And/or cheesecloth. Or a large tea strainer. I have an iced tea pitcher that came with a large strainer capsule, which works perfectly for making cold brew in.
