Coffee

[Dr Jekyll]

These days I find coffee really relaxing, and it isn't decaffeinated. Am I the only one?

Well, it certainly doesn't keep me up all night but then I don't have shed loads of it... maybe 2 cups of instant a day.

I have a pint of espresso most mornings, just like you it sets me up.

I love the strong stuff.

A pint... keeps you awake all the way through to Friday night, I bet.

Yupp really enjoy it. Drink 5+ cups a day, but I don't feel it stops me sleeping. Probably stops me having a good sleep though.

I have noticed this week how much better I sleep without it (due mainly to there being no handy coffee machine near our unit) - been really tired come 10.30 and sleep solidly till the alarm at 5.30 - had one cup of Norwegian turbo coffee last night, slept much worse and definatley feel more tired today.

When back onshore I will probably fall into my old 5+ cup a day routine - if nothing else I really love the smell and taste of a cup of coffee.

I used to be an 8 mug per day coffee drinker and always found it a relaxing drink. Never had sleeping issues.

However, I had a sinus infection which made coffee taste awful and I haven't been able to drink it since. I have found no change in sleeping patterns etc, I just really miss that nice first coffee of the day.

I've started snorting it.

Try an enema of Panama Esmeralda for a real hit.
