Whether you crave or can't stand coffee may be influenced by your genetic sensitivity to caffeine.


A warm cup of coffee is a necessary part of the morning routine for millions of people around the world. And as the end of daylight saving time messes yet again with our sleep patterns, plenty of people may reach for an extra cup or two to power through the drowsiness.
 But for some sleep-deprived souls, a cup of coffee is never the answer. No matter the delivery method, even a small amount of caffeine may give these people the jitters or keep them up all night. Why is it that caffeine affects people in such dramatically different ways?
The answer, in part, lies in your genes.
