Every morning I enjoy one cup of coffee. That is all I want for the day. But yesterday was one of those long days and I had a second cup around 3:pm. Big mistake.
I was awake until after 2:am. I will not do that again. And this may be one of those days I take a nap. We will see how it goes.
The photo is my Eeyore mug. I always have this mug every morning. Funny how our bodies get used to a routine. I threw it off with that second cup. And I learned my lesson.
Do you drink too much caffeine? If so, does it keep you up at night?

I have to watch my caffeine intake. I try not to have it in the evening, when I do, I generally regret it. Cute cup!

I do not take coffee regularly. I am a tea person and take it in the morning. Yes too much of caffeine can cause such issues. Better to avoid it in late afternoon so that it does not interfere with your sleep.

I can drink two cups a day and be good! I’m naturally a night owl
So even without 1 or 2 cups I’m up till almost 2am. On nights I’m alone with the kids I take 1 sleep aid pill it doesn’t make me sleep but it helps me stay a sleep longer till I need to get up in the morning.

@CarolDM that’s okay! Some people are good with one. My sister in law is like that one cup and she is god for the day. She is always really loud in general so I don’t think the coffee helps with that.

Caffeine does not keep me awake, on the night I play cards I drink two cups and still sleep like a baby.

Thank you. It is a big mug and my favorite. That is why I love him so much, most do not, and I go for the underdog in life. And his attitude fits mine a lot of days. Ho hum! Chocolate has more caffeine than coffee, or so I was told. But all in moderation. Every now and then will do no harm.

I once drank a flavored tea in the afternoon and I couldn't sleep at all that night. I learned my lesson after that.

Carol there are many coffee substitutes even yesterday I made a post about a cornmeal substitute identical to coffee in everything, caffeine helps the brain stay active and oxygenated, but in excess it can bring heart and tension problems, then in moderation everything can enjoy, rest, oh by the way, I laughed the title of your discussion and immediately the face of the little donkey as if I was already tired of coffee hahaha

I always palpitate right after drinking a cup of coffee so I stay away from it
