Some people find it easier to sleep after ingesting caffeine, because it peps up all your bodily urges INCLUDING the urge to sleep. Seems silly to me but my doctor ensures me it’s true. ---

I dunno, I just can never get to sleep… and then when I DO get to sleep, I’m an absolute bear to wake up, even after 13 hrs of sleep (which I SOMEHOW managed to get last Sat night)
