Usually at this time of the day i get sleepy.. but i was munching on the cookies and i also had an apple. And well see i am very alert and awake! I read somehow that apples do keep you awake as it has some properties that help one keep awake. Very nice plus i feel good as well.

Interesting. I have two jobs and so I lack sleep, and am sleepy most of the time at either work. I love apples but didn't know that they help you keep awake. It also helps, perhaps, that they are crunchy so they wake you up.

I have heard that apples and apple juice will do as much to keep you awake as coffee. I like both. I am trying to eat more fruit of all kinds. Apples and apple juice are also good for people who have breathing problems.

Maybe it's the cookies, because they're with sugar and it tends to give us that jolt of energy for a few hours. Just a hunch.

In deed, I agree with a healthy food while staying awake. In my case, I still continue to be alert with a cup of coffee or chocolates to be nibbled. According to a research, our brain needs glucose or sugar to function well.

Well, frankly speaking, I knew that in the evening, to avoid struggle to get to sleep, it was necessary to avoid drinking coffee or caffeinated drinks (or maybe even the theine). The fact that one or more apples you eat keep awake, that I had never heard. However, from what I read in your discussion, it appears that what you have read so it is documented. No fruit is therefore your own personal assumptions. it's always nice to learn new things, for example, I would never be able to understand it. Now that thou hast said, when I get to sleep, I eat an apple, so I'll keep awake and alert!
