(HealthDay News) -- Caffeine can provide a little "pick-me-up" if you're struggling to stay awake. But this common stimulant, found primarily in many coffees and teas, also can cause a number of unwanted side effects.

• Dizziness, nausea, headache and/or insomnia.
• Anxiety or irritability.
• Rapid heartbeat.
• Reduction in fine motor coordination.
• Urinating more than usual.
