Does caffeine effect you going to sleep?

[Shiranui]

Apparently caffeine takes away your ability to tell the difference between "effect" and "affect".

Steer clear of it, I say.

Caffeine, sugar, Red Bull, Pro Plus, Ephedrine, have never affected me. My head hits the pillow, I'm out like a light.

I remember once drinking 1.5 litres of Tesco Kick (simlier to redbull but cheaper) and was shaking like a shi**ing dog. But it didn't stimulate or wake me up any more than normal so went to sleep no worries.

hehe, 24 over here, and I only make a bodum in the morning, i'd rather drink tea more :D

I drank coffee late last night (full-strength made in a moka) and still ended up falling asleep while watching a movie, so I guess it's not that effective for me.

I drink alot of caffeine a day, and no, I sleep fine.

If it does, I take something to counter act it, and I'm asleep.

Almost 41. I can sleep very well after high doses of caffeine.

[Laurë Veteran]

27. It depends on how my depression and insomnia issues are doing, sometimes caffeine seems to wreck my sleep, sometimes it makes no difference. In general I have to stick to low amounts, like 1-2 cups in the earlier part of the day, otherwise I'm awake all night.

I can drink a Monster Energy can easily. It even makes me lazy! It really has the opposite effect on me. I'm 21.

[beanboy89]

When I was younger, I drank a ton of caffeinated soda all the time. Now, I'm 24 and it doesn't effect me at all. Not a coffee drinker.

Yesterday I drank 8 Monster Energy + 5 hour energy and 1 medium black coffee...... Nothing happened......

The opposite here.  When I was a kid in my teens and 20's it would get me wired and I wouldn't be able to sleep.  Nowadays a nice cup of coffee before bed doesn't phase me in the least.. I'm comatose 5 minutes after my head hits the pillow, especially during the winter when I typically sleep a lot deeper.

 

Yup. Sometimes a warm beverage at night just makes me sleepy.  :laugh:

I never drank coffee before my old networking professor made a pot in his class each morning. Now I drink it daily, however coffee for me at night doesn't have the same effect it does on me in the morning. I can still enjoy a homebrewed pot or Starbucks with friends and still get to bed on time. 

 

I'm 27.

This really has a lot more to do with how resistant your body is to caffeine which age may be a factor for.

In my youth I would drink up to 1.5L of energy drinks (Rockstar, V) a day. 

 

I hate the taste of coffee and have stopped drinking energy drinks as of almost two years ago. Drinking one coffee in a day will keep me wired until around 2am. I'm 24.

Yes, so no drinking any ice tea or diet cokes after 8 pm.    Plus with insomnia it's a big no-no.

[Yorak]

I go through a vicious cycle. I start with a cup of coffee in the morning, drink water/protein shakes during the day and then soda in the evening with supper. Usually Coke Zero. Then when 10 or 11 PM comes around, I pop an extra-strength sleep aid and hope my body recovers by morning. I really need to reduce my caffeine intake.

[The Dark Knight]

Caffeine doesn't affect me one bit. I'm over 30.

[Decebalvs Rex]

I remember that drinking some coffee sent me right onwards the bathroom , not to mention the sleepy effect after a few minutes.

Since then , I drink short Lavazza wich is a god damned Bomb .

I honestly take in very little caffeine any more. I drink decaf coffee and caffeine-free drinks. However, if I do take in caffeine right at bedtime for some reason it takes me forever to get to sleep.
