  • I am on lisdexamfetamine and I like my morning coffee. I feel like it wakes me up faster (ie caffeine addiction needs are met) but I think that is largely psychosomatic. I have used decaf and it’s just fine but I feel a little groggy a little longer.

    I try to minimize my caffeine consumption. Being on two types of stimulants isn’t great for the body. I absolutely do not consume caffeine after noon in any format, not that I’m a big fan of Cola etc.




















  • I think there’s reasonable high and low bounds as you say, but i think there’s a lot of factors as others have said. Income, culture, and cost of living are big factors. If you live in the USA and basically need to do a weekly shop at Costco for a family of 4 you need a lot more space than a single person who is able to eat out for nearly every meal in a dense urban area with affordable and moderately healthy street food (so a tiny hot plate suffices as a kitchen). But a family of 4 living in an urban area with lots of shops might do the groceries on the way home from work several times a week and then the refrigerator doesn’t need to be enormous.

    Lifestyle plays into it as well. If you have a serious hobby you need space for it - whether it’s sewing, machining, fitness, or gaming. If you live on a rural property, you need space to keep chickens and a lawn tractor and a lot more necessities than someone in a flat in London.
