Caffeine sensitivity: You have developed caffeine sensitivity. Caffeine blocks adenosine, which along with melatonin controls our urge to sleep. The caffeine is suppressing your Adenosine too long. As to "why", i can't say. Your Adenosine pathway must have developed a super sensitivity to caffeine at this point in time.
