Hate it due to the energy sapping effect and lost concentration.
Would be interested to know why it leaves people with no energy.

Do not mind it if not too high but hate the “lack of energy” that it causes. The had to get going & being sleepy feeling.
On the other hand my wife loves it, gives her a big boost, she lived in Honk Kong for 25 yrs and got accustomed to it.
So living in the North it is all part of the picture.

Being pregnant in this humidity is not at all comfortable
