The brain releases "sparks": The human brain produces electricity all the time. When you wake up, your brain produces enough electricity to light a small lamp. The brain is made up of billions of brain cells called neurons, which it uses to communicate with each other. The combination of millions of neurons sending signals at once produces a huge amount of electrical activity in the brain, which can be detected by the electroencephalogram (EEG), which measures the levels of electricity in the scalp area.

After slavery was abolished in the US. One of the greatest desires among the newly freed slaves, was to obtain and eduction. They believed that if they could obtain an education, they would get wealthy. The black schools were filled with people of all ages. There were night schools that people would attend after having worked ten hour days. The desire to learn was so huge that if could read even in the slightest, you could be appointed to teach. There were hundreds of older black people who's dreams were to be learn to read the bible before they died. Learned that from the book up from slavery. Booker T. Washington. :) dreaming-irwin

Caffeine doesn't give you an energy boost. Instead, it hides your tiredness. Your body produces a hormone that makes you sleepy. The caffeine molecule mimics this hormone in shape/design, and it blocks the receptors in your neurons from absorbing the hormone so you feel less tired.
