Coffee has worked well before but I don’t like using it cause I have to carry it around all the time, taking little sips every once in a while to avoid overstimulating myself from my heart racing.

Coffee calms me down and makes it easier to focus, but it also makes me sleepy.
When I have coffee too late in the day, I have a hard time getting to sleep. I do have a easier time focusing, but I crash hard enough that I'm exhausted for a little while.
I fall asleep on caffeine and seize on nicotine because of my Epilepsy
Unfortunately, I experienced increased stress and anxiety with coffee. Also made it harder to get good sleep 😴 No experience with nicotine other than it makes me dizzy and very ill.
