Could I have Adrenal Fatigue from coffee alone?
Hi.
Over the past 2-3 weeks I've been experiencing a lot of fatigue and daytime sleepiness. It's to the point where I'm yawning all day long, I feel physically and mentally depleted all day long.
List of symptoms:
- Sleeping way more than usual (12+ hours a day)
- Coffee no longer has any effect at all
- Sleepy and fatigued all day
- Takes around 2 hours to fall asleep at night even though I'm tired
- Lots of tension in shoulders and neck
I'm not depressed either, my mood is fine - I'm just really tired.
The only things that have changed in the last 3 weeks is I've started drinking home-made water kefir and I switched from drinking weak instant coffee to strong plunger/filter coffee.
Water Kefir has been good for my digestive health and I'm skeptical that it could be causing these kind of symptoms - however I won't rule it out.
Could the switch to stronger coffee have caused this? I drink 3-4 cups a day and it does nothing except keep caffeine withdrawal at bay.
It's important to note I live a low-stress life - I only work part time and I'm not the type of person to stress out over nothing.
I have no anxiety either, just fatigue.
Could the coffee have caused this? I'm interested to hear your thoughts!
