First off, 5 cans a day is over-dosage and practically an addiction. Caffeine can make you extremely hyper or energetic at certain times but if you start drinking a lot every day, all the times you're not drinking it will make you lose it. Your body thinks that it needs caffeine to function and might even get a restless feeling. I advise you to cut down on the amount of caffeine you drink and maybe even try a different caffeinated drink (if you love caffeine so much) because coke still contains a small percentage of cocaine these days. Don't stop with all of the caffeine so suddenly though, at this point, your body wants caffeine is can't function without it. BTW, get a lot of sleep.

Research has shown that moderate amounts of caffeine (i.e. 1 cup of coffee) actually increases attentiveness however when you get into the 5 cans of coke a day realm it definitely starts to become a problem. More importantly, if you continue to consume 5 cans of coke a day your attention span will be the least of your worries because diabetes will be in your future.

this is highly possible.
caffeine raises your blood pressure and heartrate which can make you more jumpy and unable to clearly focus on just one thing around you. your senses are working on overdrive due to the increased stimulation.
i would try lowering my soda intake to 1-2 cans per day (5 is alot and there is a ton of sugar in coke!!). try drinking things like water (best option), crystal light, gatorade or diet/caffeine free soda

Yeah it can. Caffenine is addictive. I go to a nutrionist and he said caffenine is like a drug. It makes your heart race and can cause you to make you have a faster metabolism. It can definitely make you lose concentration. I have totally gotten off of coke and coffee and it has made me feel so much better. I am able to concentrate and focus a whole lot better on what i am doing i also feel calmer. Hope this helps :)

its possible but i highly doubt it.
your getting distracted from school because theres other things your thinking about now
sure back off the caffeine and it could help
but just relax and try to do what you have to.
