High Caffeine Intake Linked To Hallucinations

High caffeine consumption could be linked to a greater tendency to hallucinate, a new research study suggests. And who did they get to participate in this study? Why students of course!

And there's this: "Caffeine use can lead to a condition called caffeine intoxication. Symptoms include nervousness, irritability, anxiety, muscle twitching, insomnia, headaches, and heart palpitations. This is not commonly seen when daily caffeine intake is less than 250mg." (emphasis mine) Insomnia? You don't say... (and isn't that the point if you're a grad student?) (via ScienceDaily)
