Star Gazer Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Is there such a thing? I had some really, really strong coffee yesterday morning, and I think it literally lasted all day AND night. I couldn't sleep. I'm having a cup right now... I'm hoping to avoid the same problem tonight. Help? Link to post Share on other sites
whichwayisup Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Well, for starters, dump the coffee you have now..lol Then, drink alot of water, eat fruit, have a meal, and drink even more water, that will hopefully get rid of the caffeine in your system. Link to post Share on other sites
Trialbyfire Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Good advice wwiu. It also helps to do some serious physical exercise, if you have some time to hit the gym or go for a run. Sweat it out. Link to post Share on other sites

If you must have coffee as I do, then make weaker coffee. If someone else is making the coffee, then fill your cup three quarters full with coffee and the rest with hot water. BTW, coffee increases anxiety and nerves. It also has a let down that is similar to depression in some people. Link to post Share on other sites

You are probably all excited about your bf there and nothing to do with the coffee. Ariadne Link to post Share on other sites
johan Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Maybe you could drink some really-strong decaf before bed. I would think that really-strong decaf would cause caffeine to exit your system. Sort of a reverse-osmosis kind of reaction. Link to post Share on other sites

johnnyj Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Ever since I switched to drinking coffee black, I can't drink it too strong. I like it light to medium, but I'll have 2 or 3 large mugs a day. If I am really tired, it doesn't matter if I drink a coffee late at night I will still be sleepy. But I guess if I overloaded it and made it real strong, it might keep me up. Link to post Share on other sites
