Hey, how's it going?
Alright I'm a little upset that the world is burning but I'm surviving best I can
I get it, i'm having a touch of insomnia after I went on an unintended caffeine break for a week and then drank a couple of mountain dews, not realizing what would happen
Sometimes, this is what life is
Being awake and seeing the sunrise is a nice little result though, usually i'm waking up too late or i'm too busy to appreciate it, but today, it's just really nice
Caffine is my bane. I need to give it up
Yeah, it was nice being able to sleep regularly for a while
My suggestion is to ease off of it slowly
Try to do it all at once will give you the meanest headache
Ooooh so thats what that headache is
Oh yeah
It doesn't help that a lot of headache pills actually have caffeine in them to both make it get into the bloodstream faster and also to settle caffeine withdrawal headaches
Turns out a lot of headaches are just caused by caffeine withdrawal
Caffeine actually does that for people?
not if you regularly consume it. i've both had it pep me up and put me to sleep though, brain chemistry is fun.
I'm actually pretty caffeine sensitive
A single coffee is usually enough to keep me awake and alert for 4 to 6 hours
