Bad news about coffee

[jimnyc]

Does decaf really still count as coffee? I can't sleep past 3am anymore. Then I toss and turn for hours. My Doc thinks it's the caffeine. Who would have though that drinking 4-6 cups of coffee a day could keep you up at night? But I was like "Why do I fall asleep no problem then, for hours, until I wake up and go to the bathroom?" - he reminded me that I take medicine already for a sleep/mood disorder which kinda knocks me out a bit, then when that wears off, he seems to think the "adrenaline" kicks in. So now he wants me to try no more than 1 cup per day, if that, or better yet try and switch to decaf altogether.

Life without coffee? Is that even possible?

F*ck no. What's the point to drinking it if it's decaf?

1 cup a day? You might as well just go shoot yourself. :laugh:

That was kinda my line of thinking when he said this. Don't they have something to counteract the caffeine? Now I got change my whole lifestyle? I suppose it's either the coffee, or up all night not being able to pee and tossing and turning!

Name your poison, bubba. We're ALL going to die. I'm not going to be miserable getting there. If I spent all the time doctors have told me crap to do, and what to eat, I'd have already driven off a cliff. I like my coffee and I like fried food and I put a ton of salt and pepper on it and I drink Coke or ice tea all day. I've only been sleeping at night lately because I get a baby at 7 AM and she doesn't get picked up until around 9 PM. You could always try THAT. It works like a charm. :laugh:
