It's too much coffee (or caffeine) when you feel like you're starting to jitter or have trouble sleeping.

Some of the side effects of too much coffee include:

- stomach pain agitation
- anxiety
- restlessness
- confusion
- seizures
- dehydration
- faster breathing rate
- fast heartbeat
- fever
- frequent urination
- increased sensitivity to touch or pain
- irritability
- muscle trembling or twitching
- vomiting (sometimes with blood)
- fibrocystic breast disease
- ringing or other sounds in ears
- seeing flashes of “zig-zag” lights
- trouble in sleeping.

If you jitter when you Twitter, you'd better be a quitter.

Seriously, if your heart is racing, or you can't sleep or you wake up when you don't want to, or you have any other symptoms that concern you, set your cup down and call your doctor. It might be too much coffee, but it could also be something more serious. Caffeine tolerance varies from person to person, based on age, metabolism, gender, activity level, and simple sensitivity to it.

And it could be that you're drinking coffee too late in the day: if I drink it past 2 p.m., I either have trouble falling asleep, or I wake up in the middle of the night. Or I sleep so lightly that the least thing wakes me.

If you "have" to have coffee then you're drinking too much.
