Pay attention to those who like coffee! According to Simon Crowe, a professor of psychology at La Trobe University University in Melbourne, Australia, coffee is a common psychotropic substance and we should not ignore the health problems caused by excessive caffeine intake. According to Professor Crowe's research, people who are overstressed and love coffee are three times more likely to have auditory hallucinations and hallucinations than others.

Professor Crowe asked 92 subjects to undergo a "sound experiment". During the experiment, the subjects' coffee intake and psychological stress were recorded. The so-called "sound experiment" refers to the "white noise" made by the subjects listening to the radio and television noise, while the researchers told the subjects that the white noise would be mixed with the old song "White Christmas" and that as long as they heard the songs and melodies of "White Christmas", they must press the tested button quickly. In fact, there were no songs mixed with the white noise, but some of the subjects still said they heard melody clips.

The results show that people with low caffeine intake only press the test button once on average, while high-stress coffee drinkers press the test button an average of three times, indicating that stressed coffee drinkers are prone to auditory hallucinations.

In addition, the New Zealand Herald also reported that modern people consuming too much caffeine due to excessive stress will not only increase the chances of hearing hallucinations, but also may overreact to mental exuberance and think that someone is talking to them. Therefore, when drinking coffee, it is necessary to pay attention to daily intake, do not affect your health because of excess.
