After having 6 straight days of over 5 1/2 hours sleep or more, I hardly had more than a half hour's sleep last night. I had just commented on a fellow blogger on MyLot how good he felt & I commented on how good I felt for 6 days. But then even after drinking herbal tea, & then taking sleep aid & Nyquil for my stuffy nose, I couldn't sleep during the whole night. MY heart was beating fast. It must have been that half a cup of regular cola I had with lunch yesterday before going shopping. I didn't have any water until right before supper @ 5:30. If I had the water earlier like @ 3:30, I would have gotten the caffeine out of my system by bed time but no. I didn't fall asleep until after 6:30 & only had like 25 min. Unfortunately, I had a bad headache & had to work @ my volunteer job @ a museum for 3 1/2 hours. I came home & took a 25 min. nap.but still had a headache, even right now. I have to go to bed early now. Caffeine is a big problem for me in terms of getting sleep. I can't have it after 2 or 3 if I'm busy enough not to drink water after that. Anyone have that same problem? - Have to stop drinking anything with caffeine in it, early in the day?
