I just learned that caffeine works by blocking receptors in your brain that promote sleep. So it’s not actually a stimulant but prevents sleepiness

First part is true but it is still very much a stimulant with multiple effects- we just have a clearest picture on the receptor blocking part https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1356551/

Makes painkillers work better too. Basically coffee is a magic potion.

This is how it reduces sleep but it is also a CNS stimulant.

Caffeine also acts as a central nervous system stimulant That’s why for people like ADHD it relaxes us and makes us feel sleepy. It’s very confusing bc I keep wanting to believe it’ll wake me up. Yet it never does
