it wouldn't be harmful but caffeine in coffee is a stimulant and would not impove the behaviour!
actually, people that are ADD/ADHD-PI: attention deficit hyperactive disorder(predomaintly inactive) are not hyperactive naturally so giving them coffee would probably make them hyper like anyone else, HOWEVER for some reason when you give ADHD(THE HYPERACTIVE TYPE) people coffee it calms them down

How do you overcome lack of attention?
It depends. You might have a disorder called ADD, or attention deficit disorder, which means it is hard for you to pay attention. To overcome ADD I would recommend talking to your doctor to first see if you are diagnosed, and then ask for a prescription. I recommend asking for focalin. If you do not have ADD, then I would recommend getting a good night's sleep every night, and if you have coffee often, DO NOT wean yourself off of it. Good luck!
Is a true that inattention is a general lack of respect of the task of driving?
Not at all. Some people have ADD or ADHD which stand for Attention Deficit (hyperactivity) Disorder, which means they have an extreme lack of attention. Some people have valid reasons for not paying attention, like they're tired, or haven't had coffee yet. But no, it's not at all disrespect, if anything, it's merely something that you should just remind them about.

Why would you get tired after you drink coffee?
Coffee contains caffeine, which is a stimulant. Although caffeine usually gives a person more metabolic energy and stimulates nerve cells, it can oddly, in some cases, have an opposite effect. Many Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) children, for example, seem to be "hyped up" all the time, and the medication they are given, a stimulant, calms them down. Neurologists don't precisely yet understand why this happens, but it's a documented fact that sometimes a stimulant can calm a person who has been kind of running on "nervous energy." It's a well known fact that many people enjoy a cup of coffee just before going to bed. In some way, it relaxes them, and allows them to get to sleep more easily.
