Maybe ,but in most time I would prefer to drinking tea instead of having coffee.Tea has the same function to refresh myself .Further more ,tea agrees with chinese habit. For me ,an important reason is the low price of tea .though I draink tea almost everyday ,I only need two kilograms of tea ,It cost about 100 hundred yuans ,is equal to 13 dolars! Of course some kind of tea's price is strking!

yes,and I am a Chinese too.I know some kind of tea is very expensive sometimes,and not cheaper than coffee.and the problem is that I do not know which kind of tea is good for me,so I just choose coffee.

I try to stay away from caffeine. But, every now and then, I treat myself to a soda or some tea. I don't care much for coffee. For some strange reason, I get some kind of pleasure out of fighting sleep. I feel like a kid who might miss something, LOL.

i prefer tea and the reason for this is ,ehh,i am a chinese too,haha. Anyhow, from the point of health,tea contains some ingredints that do good to your health while coffee may have some negative effect on your body. So i recommend you to have tea when you feel sleepy.

Yes, when I have to work to finish. Coffee will give me a strenth and warm my body. I love coffee and it is one of my favorite drink specially in the morning. I take a cup of coffee in the morning, even in the lunch time, merienda time or dinner time. I will take also a coffee when I feel something unexplain to my body and when I feel stress. For me coffee is my vitamin for my body.

Yes we do.Most persons do this because when we feel sleepy a cup of coffee or tea energises us.But it is not a very good habit & it can lead to insomnia if taken too much.

I seldom drink coffee today. As although I will have a clear mind after that, but I am afraid I will stay up and I can't fall asleep easily at night.

I drink tea or coffee sometimes,but not for staying up.Because they both seem not helpful to me.When i am sleepy,only taking a nap can help.I do not know why.Mother tell me age is the key point.At her age,a little tea will keep her awake the whole night. Right? I may get the idea when I am old.

haha,in fact,either coffee or tea is not helpful to me,but I just keep this habit.maybe it is just an effect of mind.
