I’ve drank a caffeinated drink close to bed time. :eek: (That’s me in bed tonight) ---

Yup. Kind of hard to get into a wreck in bed. ---

Well, Johnny beat me to the punch line, but I’ll cast ridicule on your manliness instead: a single beverage with caffeine keeps you up? :dubious: Unless it’s Red Bull or Jolt Cola (which I doubt is sold in the UK), I laugh at your pathetic caffeine tolerance! I drink multiple espressos to put me to sleep! Okay, seriously, why did you do that if you know it keeps you up? ---

Maybe if you drink LOTS of decaf coffee… it’ll water down the caffeinated stuff… and …and… oh hell… I guess you will be cleaning the WHOLE house until the stuff wears off!!!😃 ---

It’s Friday night. Do something fun! Soo. . . I guess I’ll be seeing you here later tonight. 😉 ---

Caffeine has the double effect of being a placebo (“I’ve had caffeine so I won’t sleep” so I won’t sleep) and of being an actual drug that hinders sleep. I am such a light sleeper that falling asleep wakes me up! ---

I feel the pain, **Lobsang**. I’m so caffeine sensitive that my hands shake on one cup of tea.
