You're not "'dumber." I think us coffee drinkers need a "pick-me-up" in the morning. We have to have our coffee. LOL The coffee has caffeine in it, and that's a stimulant. It can make our heart pump faster, which isn't necessarily good. If you were never a coffee drinker, you wouldn't feel like you needed anything! You wouldn't feel "dumber." You'd feel just normal. It's just that we're used to that stimulant in the morning - or whenever.

So you are NOT 'dumber.' You're just looking for that stimulant from coffee. Best of luck. Hugs, Lee
