I'm curious about the coffee part. What happens with coffee?

It's the caffeine and its side effects. It can cause sleep disorders, anxiety, and so on. Of course, not everyone encounters these problems with their coffee-drinking. See the Wikipedia entry for caffeine if you want more details though.

yes, mostly sleep disorder, the intense crash and burn of coffee compared to a more mellow effect of for example green tea, and the tummy problems.

especially the crash/burn + sleep problems though, which lead to anxiety, which leads to either depression, or in my case a kind of jittery angst-fueled hyperactivity.
