Let’s be honest: coffee isn’t just a drink, it’s a lifestyle. Sometimes that lifestyle means “one cup to start the day,” and sometimes it means “I can hear colors now.” We’ve all been there, so no judgment, just laughs. Here are the telltale signs you may have had one sip too many.
1. Your To-Do List Has a To-Do List
You’re suddenly organizing the garage, alphabetizing the spice rack, and planning a trip to Sweden. Congratulations! You’ve unlocked turbo productivity mode.
2. You’re Talking Faster Than Wi-Fi
If your friends need subtitles to keep up with your stories, chances are you’ve crossed into over-caffeinated territory.
3. Your Heart Thinks It’s Doing Cardio
No treadmill? No problem. Your coffee has you hitting a steady 120 bpm while sitting absolutely still.
4. You’re Seeing Through Time
You don’t just know what you’re doing tomorrow, you know what your great-grandkids will be doing in the year 2089. Coffee makes you psychic (or so it feels).
5. The “Jitters” Are Real
Your hands are shaking so much that writing your grocery list looks like abstract art. On the plus side, you may have just invented a new font.
6. Sleep? Never Heard of Her.
It’s 2 a.m. and you’re wide awake researching the history of spoons. Don’t worry, the internet is here for you.
7. You’re Arguing With Your Mug
When your cup is empty and you’re considering a strongly worded letter to your barista (or yourself, if you brewed it at home), you might be over-caffeinated.
At the end of the day, coffee is meant to be fun. So whether you’re on cup one or cup seven, remember: Sip Happens, and we’re here for every jittery, wide-eyed moment.
Sip Happens Tip: Water is your friend. Pair each cup of coffee with a glass of water to stay balanced (and give your future self a fighting chance at sleep).
