Caffeine!!! !! ! !!

Hello! This is a brief analysis of why I got the sweats for about an hour this afternoon.Caffeine: A chemical compound known to increase wakefulness by blocking adenosine receptor action in neurons. Chemically, the compound can be described by the name 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine due to its composure of a xanthine molecule that has three methyl groups added in specific places around the ring structure. These methyl groups give caffeine a high affinity for coupling to adenosine receptors in such a way that blocks adenosine from binding it, preventing the drowsiness-inducing actions that typically result from the complex. This induces temporary alertness until adenosine concentrations reach high enough levels to bind the receptor more effectively, classifying it as a stimulant. Not only does it stimulate the central nervous system, but in some individuals, it can affect the sweat glands as well.This is most likely why I’m sweating after that Starbucks-featured Dark Roast of the Day I just finished. Possible other causes may be aspects of the lunch I had earlier (a crock pot chuck roast with potatoes, onions, carrots, and cauliflower cooked in red wine. I also threw some gold fish crackers into the broth after everything else that was substantial had been eaten), or heat retention from my boots (testing out hiking boots for a trip to Nepal).To bring this back into the IT realm:  Caffeine is also a nifty app!  http://www.zhornsoftware.co.uk/caffeine/
