Today i learned that...
 
Drinking coffee after 6 PM has a distinctly different effect than alcohol on my ability to fall asleep at a decent hour... Apparently sipped too much last evening and was still awake at 1:30... Which makes my 4:45 wake up call to head to the gym a bit difficult.

This evening I wised up... Sipping decaf 😎

No coffee for me after 12pm..

I have to cutoff at about 2 pm.

Yep, no coffee after 12 pm for me either.

Same here, I generally have an early afternoon cutoff as well, especially during the workweek. I also have to limit my intake period, as caffeine sometimes provokes heart palpitations and a general feeling of anxiety if I go overboard.

I went to an 8pm meeting tonight and drank coffee. Big mistake, although it seemed like a good idea at the time. Now I'm wired.

Guess it's better than being drunk though.

Yeah same problem.

This is the distinct difference between my college days and my working days.

Oldness.
