I'm trying to tighten up my manuscript right now. One of my characters has a caffeine addiction for several reasons, one of which being the nightmares that plague her when she sleeps. She only sleeps a few hours a night as a result. She's also scared of pitch-black rooms and places. She drinks probably a cup of coffee every 2-3 hours, though sometimes she'll drink an entire pot in one sitting.
I've researched the effects of caffeine and how much she can intake before stuff seriously goes wrong (short term effects), but I was wondering if ya'll could share personal stories of what happens to you when you have too much caffeine and too little sleep.
Like, what side effects? How long can you stay up at a time before hallucinations or other things start happening? Just looking for some personal touches to add to my story. Thanks all!
