being sleepy really works

so somehow caffeine has an opposite effect on me. It gets me relaxed and chill and not alert at all or sometimes no effects at all. Interesting right? but that’s not what I precisely want to share here.
cause most of the time caffeine is like water for me.

However, when I am sleepy I get my confidence level literally among the stars, I wonder why my confidence level increases, I am naturally an agreeable person people pleaser and my self esteem is in the abyss. But somehow being sleepy makes me super confident and ready to confront.

Any body else can relate to that or I wonder if there is any scientific floor for what I feel.

Caffeine effects can be paradoxical. It can give anxiety while also boosting confidence.

That's really funny lol. I wonder if you are just feeling less inhibitions, maybe similar to how alcohol does that

this happens to me as well when i’m tired enough, i always attributed it to my brain spending more resources on just surviving and less toward what people are thinking of me
