Why do you think I need the caffeine?

Are you eating enough through the day? Do you skip breakfast in the morning? Getting enough sleep at night??

Yeah, I think that's the word.

Oh fucking hell. It's 2am and I'm wide awake even though my alarm goes off in 5 hours, because I've just been woken up by a drunken phone call from an ex girlfriend. It's going to be really hard to get through tomorrow without any caffeine.

Just exercise for 30 minutes when you wake up and eat a salad for lunch. You'll feel great for the rest of the week, I promise. My nurse told me so.

i can't remember the last time i left my phone in a way it could wake me up. you've got to take sleeping more seriously, man!

i even invested in one of those sleep masks i always used to tease my (shift-working) mother about. fuck im a worthless cunt

Most importantly, is it a landline?

I turn off my phone whenever I go to bed, because some people have trouble understanding that just because they're awake it doesn't mean I am. Unless you need it for eventual emergencies (I just find it unlikely in my case)...

My phone is also my alarm clock, and it was on silent anyway. And c'mon. It was 1.30am on a Thursday night. Why the hell should I have to legislate against calls at that time?

Meh, I tried one of those too. I have no problems with light when I go to bed, because it's fucking dark, but every time I used it I would wake up (when it got light) with it down around my neck, or it had just completely come off the top of my head and was somewhere in the bed or on the floor.

I guess I flip around a lot when I sleep

Edit: I actually thought this was the sleeping thread, but I guess I'm on topic. Thanks, chardonnay

well i dunno. do you want a good night's sleep or do you wanna be getting woken up at shitty hours? There can be only one.

hahaha. that surprises me. you have a huge, bald head. it should hold better!

i agree i find them annoying; mostly its the pressure on my eyelids. but my bedroom gets way too bright to sleep past bumfuck o'clock otherwise.

Wait, how did your phone wake you up, if it was on silent? I think we can all agree that drunken calls from exes are one of the absolute worst things one can wake up to. I always leave my phone on when I'm sleeping, though, in case there is an emergency and someone needs to reach me. I normally don't have issues getting back to sleep. If I do, as I mentioned above, I'll just read for a while.

I think the sound of it vibrating against the shelf woke me up, or I was half-awake anyway. I'd only been asleep for about 90 minutes, but I was wide awake afterwards.

You're such a cunt

i really am

You'd also be surprised by the amount of people with Clausewitz related questions at 3 AM

quote:

in people who have been nonsmokers for at least 20 years, 1-2 cups of coffee per day corresponds to a 32% decrease in the risk of death from throat cancer. More than 2 cups per day corresponds to a 64% decrease. And among all participants (including former smokers), more than 4 cups a day seemed to provide the greatest benefit. Decaf coffee also seems to reduce the risk of fatal throat cancer, though not quite as much. Tea drinkers, in contrast, don�t seem to get any benefit, not for this type of cancer. All this comes with some very big caveats. First, despite the very large size of the study, the number of deaths oral or pharyngeal cancer was very small, only a few hundred. (Oral/pharyngeal cancer is very common worldwide, but less common in the U.S., where this study was conducted, with about 7850 deaths per year. This includes cancers of the tongue, mouth, and pharynx.) So the absolute risk is very small. Another big caveat is that this study only looked at cancer deaths � it did not measure the risk of getting cancer in the first place. But skepticism aside, drinking coffee seems to reduce the risk of oral cancer. This confirms my long-held view that the three major food groups � coffee, chocolate, and red wine � are all good for you. So the next time you feel like a second cup, or a third: drink up!

Edit: Just found a new one

quote:

An Australian study has shown that long distance drivers who drink caffeinated beverages, like coffee or energy drinks, are at a decreased risk of getting into vehicle accidents compared to those who don�t. And the difference isn�t small. Drivers hopped up on caffeine have a 63% reduced chance of crashing. The new study, which now appears in the British Medical Journal, was conducted by Mark Stevenson, Lisa Sharwood, and their colleagues at the George Institute for Global Health in Sydney. Prior to launching the project, the researchers looked at pre-existing studies showing the positive effects of caffeine, including its ability to increase alertness and prevent injury in shift workers, and improve the capacity for task performance. And indeed, as one of the most popular stimulants in the world, much is known about caffeine�s ability to suppress sleep and activate arousal. At the same time, however, caffeine is notorious for its deleterious effects, like disrupting sleep and negatively affecting mood.

Luckily it was snowing pretty heavily this morning, so I had an excuse for leaving the house 45 minutes late.

Really? I work mostly from home now, but when I worked at the office we would still be penalized for being late if that happened. They expected us to leave earlier when there was bad weather to allow for time to get there on time. Kind of shit if you ask me.

On the topic of caffeine, I rarely drink it at all. If I do, it's at night to stay up later. As soon as I'm vertical in the morning I'm ready to go.

I think I've doubled my intake since posting in this thread.

- one or two before work
- one or two at work
- one when I get back to my apartment around 9/10

Sounds like bullshit to me. Maybe if it's snowing heavily the day before as well you should be expected to plan for it, but it whited over in the night with no warning. If my company expected me to wake up 45 minutes earlier than I had to and just sit around on the off-chance of a heavy snowstorm, I'd tell them to fuck off.

No reason, really, it just sounded like it bothered you a lot

I, for one, am eager to make my best zombie impression under similar circumstances

Well, it did, but really more in terms of emotional trauma than in lost hours of shut-eye. This is just about the only place I could vent at 2am to an audience
