does caffiene keep you from sleeping

[vickysue]

Never used o, but now  since I have A-Fib and hyper thyroid   along with graves disease I can no longer have anything with caffine in it. What a bummer. I love ice tea . It is a bummer because I can't even have hot chocolate. Although I will give in and have a small cup. I have made my own hot chocolate mix and have cut the chocolate down some by using Ovaltene  instead of cocoa. also have more milk and rich dry cream ( French vanilla0 in it. Not quite the same but 2/3 the caffine.

Sometimes.  But if I'm really tired caffeine won't work.

[pmagalei]

It really does. Especially the mountain dew and pepsi. If you want to stay well awake all night long, 2 litter will do the job. The only problem, It is not healthy especially the soda for your body and teeth. The Caffeine tends to ruin your entire system.

no not really, I don't sleep either way.

Yes if I drink caffeine in the later hours of the day it will keep me awake for hours.  I normally drink water and occasionally will drink a soda or hot chocolate in the early hours of the day.

Yes it does, but that is what it is suppose to do, it is suppose to give you an energy boost so i avoid any thing with caffiene in it before i go to sleep.

To my knowledge caffeine never bothered my sleeping however I only drink one small cup of coffee in the morning now and no other caffeine through the day because I have an irregular heartbeat and I don't want to take any chances on making it worse.  Some things I read said caffeine is a problem with that and some said it isnt but I just play it safe.

I used to be bad at this.Because i work 3pm-11pm i would stop and get coffee,drink coke or have tea.I love caffeine.But i think it was not too smart.It seemed to spoil falling out to sleep longer.I am not perfect,but i did cut it out a lot!!

[ljrjess69]

no i dont think sooo..i drink alot of coffe!

[JaniceSW]

YES!!!  If I have caffeinated drinks after about 3 in the afternoon, I am often up until late at night.  Of course, I have some sleeping issues anyway since I have aged and retired, but caffeine really doesn't help!

[yaayme]

I'm weird, because caffeine really doesn't have an effect on me, but I drink it anyway because it's comforting. It doesn't help me stay awake, however it does help my mood.

No caffeine does not keep me from sleeping no affect to caffiene

[pkrahmer]

if I have caffiene it has to be early in the morning  anything past noon and i will only sleep about 2 -3 hours  at night regardless pf the time I go to bed

Caffeine just stops a chemical in your brain from feeling tired... Every hour the amount of caffeine lowers and the feeling of being tired gets more prominent

Oh goodness no I drink my coffee and I also drink several ddps a day
