caffeine headache

Morning without joe

A caffeine headache is head pain caused by caffeine withdrawal, typically occurring when regular coffee or tea drinkers miss their usual intake.

The dull, throbbing ache develops as blood vessels in the brain dilate after the stimulant's constricting effect wears off: I skipped my morning coffee and had a caffeine headache by noon.
