I made an important discovery at work today. When I’ve gone a day or so without caffiene, my head starts to buzz a little. This is right before the bad headache comes in and ruins my day, but riiiight before it I have a strange swimming feeling in my head. I used to think this was a lack of fresh air, so I’d go and get some but the feeling would come back eventually.
Today I figured it out that this hits me if I haven’t had any caffeine in a while. I don’t drink coffee and my soda intake is relatively minimal, but I drink a soda every day or every other day and when I don’t (usually days spent working from home), the next day I get this swimming feeling. The other thing I figured out today is that it’s the same sensation I get when I start to get drunk.
How odd.
