I screwed up

[Frosty]

Oh I did it this time. I knew better but I did it anyway. I’m going to be in serious trouble tomorrow! I drank a whole pot of coffee this afternoon… ain’t no I’m getting to bed at a decent hour tonight! On the plus side I got 3/4 of the garage really clean!

I used to drink coffee right up to bed time

 

[Michigan Slim]

I cut down to a pot a day. None after work now. Sleeping better. I try not to drink anything at all after supper.

 

[COOPADUP]

You’ll be fine.
Just stretch out like normal and you will just drift off. Good luck sir !

Riddle me this. I can drink a bunch of caffeine drinks and take an afternoon nap no problem, but drink one small caffeinated drink after 5 and I’m up until the wee hours.

 

[Bigtanker]

Take some night time cold medicine.

Better start on the whiskey soon. That will counteract the coffee

That’s odd. Normally after a few cups of coffee on a typical not to busy Saturday I can do a short nap around 2 or so.

If your hair isn’t talking to you then you’ll be fine

After dinner coffee around 6pm and 2oz of bourbon or rye around 8pm.
Asleep by 11pm and up before 5am without an alarm.
Retirement has made me lazy.

I used to drink alot of coffee, and by alot I mean several pots during the day. Now that I am retired, I drink very little coffee and get very little done. However, I sleep like a baby.

I really thought this was going to be a spoof of the wireless camera thread.

0/10.

Made three pots of coffee today. The wife got one cup of each pot, I had the rest.

I don't drink coffee.

But, I've retired 11.5 months ago, and am STILL working at sleeping a 'normal' schedule.

Mostly better.
But not quite there yet.

I have A.D.D. pretty bad. Coffee helps keep me even keel and doesn't affect me much as a stimulant. I can drink a pot of it and go straight to bed.

Although, now that I think of it, I've never needed much sleep in general. I average six hours or less most nights. Maybe I should try cutting my coffee intake and see if that makes a difference.

I do not know why but it seems to affect older folks more than younger. Do not recall ever hearing from under 40 about this issue, many older than 40 definitely mention it often…

Found the answer.

“It is indeed possible to develop caffeine sensitivity. This becomes more common as we age. Research shows that older adults clear caffeine from the body more slowly than younger people. In one study, coffee drinkers between 65 and 70 took 33% longer to metabolize caffeine than did younger participants. That means the same amount of coffee that someone has been drinking would have an amplified effect.”

Well, I'm among the over 40 crowd.
