I am so sleepy, but I can't...

...drink coffee. I used to drink a cup of coffee before having classes in the afternoon. The main reason is not to feel sleepy. Since I am a hypertensive patient, I need to refrain from having caffeine in my system. The good thing is that I bought a pack of coffee candies and I had one before the afternoon classes online today. How do you make yourself awake in doing something? Image Credit: icegif.com

I'm just awake... I haven't had coffee in 30-something years... Pretty's mom would throw up if she smelled coffee, so made me stop drinking it. After she and I got divorced, I tried to drink it a couple of times but didn't like it so just don't drink it at all... I'm sorry you're tired, buddy.

I hope the divorce is not because of the coffee. I am trying to push myself back to teach online. Despite the shortcomings of my company, I am trying my best to teach my loyal students online.

@Shavkat No, drinking coffee or not wasn't part of the reason for our divorce. You know I wish you well in whatever you choose to do.

@DaddyEvil I am trying to put my life back on track. I thought the culprit is coffee consumption.

I am fine now. I only feel this way in the afternoon. But I need to have a quick nap.

I agree. I have stopped drinking coffee for more than 3 months now. The culprit is being hypertensive.

Yes, it is. At least, it is in a small amount of caffeine.

Dark chocolates help me to stay awake and I usually have a bar after lunch.

I wash my face when I feel sleepy and want to keep myself awake. Tea or coffee doesn't help me to do so.

@Shavkat yes you should. Addiction of the same is not good for the health.

@Shavkat I do not have a special way to stay awake. I do know that if tired and laying on the couch watching TV will fall asleep. I try to work on the computer in order to stay awake.
