Night Shift

Well surprise surprise another short nap. Anyone else awake here?

I'm awake. Thankfully to a ungodly amount of caffeine and sweet snack foods. 🙂

Hi @Tyler77 I don't drink as much coffee as I used to but it hasn't changed the sleep problem. These days it's a max of 2 and none after early afternoon.

What is your feeling of thankfulness for? Are you working on a project or something?

Hi @Tyler77 @eth

Nope, I'm just up to be up. 2 cups of coffee. I should try to reduce it down to that eventually. I currently consume about 6-8 cups a day..

Hi @Faith-and-Hope

Wow @Tyler77 I'd be pinging if I had that much!

Hi @Faith-and-Hope how has your night been?

That's a lot of coffee @Tyler77 !!

My husband was drying coffee like that at one stage. Went to the dr with the jitters. Didn't tell the dr at first how much coffee he was drinking, but it surfaced in the course of investigating, and he had to cut back. Jitters settled. Funny that .......

i know it's your business, and I don't want to pry, just to learn, but does coffee impact on other medications in your (as in "anybody's") system ?

Dandelion "Coffee" is a know substitute with health benefits, but I am guessing anything like that would still need to be run past the dr as well.

You would also have to adjust your taste buds to the difference in flavour.

@Tyler77 and @Faith-and-Hope what do you both do with your time when you're awake through the night?

Honestly It's not that much to me. I'm withdrawing from adderall, which is a powerful stimulant, so 3 cups of coffee at a time is like nothing to me. In fact, I'm finding that i need that much just to stay awake and stay focused. Maybe over time that'll reduce. Not sure if it affects other meds or not. I doubt it would. When I hold my hands out, I got slight shakes, but nothing major. I plan on cutting back eventually.
