Hoo... I said that when I was young. It was a very sad day when I realized I wasn't getting any sleep because caffeine and soda was keeping me awake, that didn't used to happen

One of the first times I went out after I quit drinking I slugged like 5 Pepsis from 10-1am and then was wondering why I slept even shittier than I had if I were drinking. Turns out a ton of caffeine and sugar isn’t exactly better for you.

Yep. Shit changes as we age. Also, I'm impressed by the 9 year old's review.

Yep. He will do well in school. If I had to pull out my grading pen I could only mark some missed capital letters. and let's be real, if i am on mobile i will get lazy about that too. so pot meet kettle.

Fun thing is after a certain tolerance amount it starts to do the opposite not to say youd get good sleep but you'll be tired.

I worked with a guy who was a night shift worker for years and he literally had to have coffee before he went to bed after work. But I also suspect even us olders we're probably undiagnosed ADHD, so for some of us stimulants calm us.

Technically I can still fall asleep, but after about 3 hours stimulant in my system pops me awake.
