Does Coffee Still Keep You Awake?
The reason I am asking this question is that last weekend, I went out of town with some friends and I had some realizations when it comes to coffee. So we went out Saturday night, right? We had some drinks and afterwards, we had some coffee. Of course, it was I who instigated the early morning coffee run. What surprised me was that a friend of mine kept on vehemently refusing to have some of this delectable brew!
I kept on insisting that it would be great after a long night out drinking alcohol, right? Well he said that he just could not take the chance of drinking coffee and then not being able to sleep. I thought it was ridiculous at first and then I realized that there was some truth to what he was saying! After all, I drink coffee to stay awake (at least that’s what is in my mind).
So we got around to talking about how coffee keeps you awake and all that stuff. Anyhow, I realized that coffee does not really keep me awake anymore – unless I have several cups in a row. I am not alone – I read this post by Shalini wherein she was talking about how addicted she is to coffee. I am sure that many of you would be able to relate to this somehow.
So should I do something about this? Should I cut back so that coffee will keep me awake again? I don’t know – I don’t think I even want to.

[...] It is complicated, isn’t it? I suppose the determining factor would be how your body responds to the amount of sleep you get. If you sleep for 7 hours and you still can’t function optimally during the day, then the chances are that you need more. On the other hand, if you sleep for 10 hours and you feel groggy and not even coffee can do much for you, then you should probably lessen your sleeping hours. As for me, I am sticking to my minimum of 10 hours a day if I can! Share and Enjoy:These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages. [...]
