How was your Sleep last night?

[WilsonFitbit]

Hello everyone! 😊

Were you able to fall asleep quickly last night? 

I had a hard time to fall asleep last night. In fact, I was watching TV around 8:00 PM and after that, I decided to drink a cup of coffee but I am not used to doing it at late times, then I decided to go to bed at 10:00 PM but I think it was until 11:30 PM that I was able to fall asleep. 😴 I believe it was due to caffeine. 

Since this called out my attention, I was reading some information and I found that coffee does not affect everyone in the same way. Some people can drink multiple cups and experience few effects, others may experience adverse affects after drinking a single cup of coffee. It says that some People who drink coffee before going to bed may have trouble falling asleep (which is my case) but some others will not have the same effect. 

With that being said, does coffee affect your Sleep? Is anyone here that would like to share their experience? 

In my case, I'll never drink a cup of coffee after 6:00 PM. 😅

Have a great day!

It’s interesting how caffeine can affect people … or not. I’m in the “or not” category, I can drink a Starbuck’s espresso right before bedtime and fall asleep like a baby. My family and friends hate me … lol.

@SunsetRunner Nice to see you around and thanks for sharing! 😅

Wow, I can't believe caffeine doesn't cause any side effects on you. 😊 I wish I could have the same results. 😊 

Have a great day!

I am so sensitive to caffeine! I drink one cup of tea in the morning and that's it. If I have even a small amount of caffeine after noon, I'll never get to sleep that night. I hardly ever drink coffee. It's just too strong for me.

@alexthecat I'm  the same. I don't drink caffeinated coffee any more. I can only handle Swiss Water processed decaf too - ordinary chemical decaffeinated leaves too much caffeine in it. I am sleeping much better now tho!

@alexthecat, @SunsetRunner Thank you for taking the time to share your inputs and experiences!

In my case, I really love drinking coffee and I've been trying to drink less, but can't stop it. 😂 I know it's going to be a little bit harder for me to be able to stay away from caffeine.

Do you have any tips or recommendations on how you avoid caffeine? 

See you around.

I just substitute other things. I drink flavored seltzer or soft drinks without caffeine instead of cola. After I've had my morning cup of tea, I switch to decaf or herbal tea for the rest of the day. Now that the weather is warmer where I live, I drink a lot more water too.

• Golden Milk. 
• Lemon Water.

Have a wonderful weekend!
