If you feel that you cannot start your day or feel fresh without tea or coffee, experts say this could indicate that your body has become dependent on caffeine. Caffeine gives a quick boost in alertness, but when the body gets used to it, you may feel dull, tired, or irritated until you drink it again.
This problem may also suggest:
- Lack of proper sleep – Your body is already tired, so it needs caffeine to feel awake.
- Dehydration – Low water intake can reduce energy levels and cause fatigue.
- Poor morning nutrition – If you skip breakfast or eat late, your body depends on caffeine for energy.
- Stress or mental fatigue – Caffeine becomes a coping habit.
- Caffeine withdrawal symptoms – Headache, low mood, and low energy if you skip tea/coffee.
Experts recommend gradually reducing caffeine, improving sleep quality, staying hydrated, and eating a balanced breakfast to naturally feel fresh.
