question about caffeine...

[Mday]

i've been having caffeine the past few days. i have not had this good a night's rest in sooooo long. why does caffeine help me sleep?

i don't drink coffee or anything. i try to avoid soda as carbonization annoys me.

Hmmm. I always thought caffeine would have the opposite effect. They say to not drink caffeine 4-6 before you go to sleep.

doesn't caffine keep you awake?

 

[Scrapster]

Except mday is not human.

 

[RaDragon]

what kind of 'caffeine' are you having? what's the sugar content?? too much caffeine and sugar for me also renders me sleepy. so, it's not just Mday, and yes, i'm human!

I can have a full glass of Coke and still make it to bed soundly. I'm just THAT addicted.

Caffiene only works short-term. When the effects of caffiene go away, you're more tired than before.

 

[TuffGuy]

cuz after being amped all day you crash at night and are therefore able to sleep.

i am not talking about drinking it right before bed of course =P

but the days i do take in some caffeine... snooooooze....

<---- usually a very tired person. it's like i have some sleep disorder...

Caffeine has different effects on different people

 

[apoppin]

Caffeine is a stimulent.

After the stimulation comes the &quot;crash&quot;. If you time it right, it can be ideal.

i know a few people this happens to....

from my experience, it's usually the people with fast metabolisms. (SP?)

Probably it acts like Ritalin, the drug used in attention deficit disorders. On hyperactive people, Ritalin helps them slow down even though its a stimulant.

 

Coffee in the night makes me sleepy too.
More warm and fuzzy I think.
