1. "I don't know why but I just can't get to sleep."
2. "I always feel cold."

4. "I have no appetite."
Correct Answer: 1
A caffeine intake of over 600 mg per day is considered excessive and is not recommended. Caffeine that is consumed in large quantities can cause higher total cholesterol levels and insomnia. Patients who consume large quantities of caffeine are also more likely to feel warm, have increased frequency of stools, and have an increased appetite.
