4-13-09 - Espresso and Coffee keep you awake!

Monday (Sunday into Monday)
Started Relaxation time: 1:30pm
Got in Bed to read by: 1:45pm
Turned out lights to sleep by: 1:45am
Guesstimate of when I fell asleep: 5:30am
Guesstimate of when I woke up: 7:30am
Had alarm set to: 8:05am
Got out of Bed at: 8:05am
Total Time I slept: 2 Hours and XX Minutes

Last night was a hellish night of sleep.  It was Easter Sunday so I ate plenty, drank Espresso, and had a coffee after 10pm with some friends.  I ordered a decaf coffee but maybe it was regular?

Hopped in bed around 1:45 because I had to be up for 8:00am, and figured I would get around 6 hours of sleep, but that didn’t happen. I ended up tossing and turning, and was in a daze most of the night.  Half alseep, but enough to be conscious and know that I wasn’t getting rest. I tried to get my mind off stuff but it wandered anyways.  I woke up a little hot at one point so I pulled the covers off.

I remember around 5:00is I was dozing off for maybe 30 minutes and then remember looking at the clock a few times around 6:00am.  By 7:30 I was awake and was trying to get some sleep, but I knew I had to be up.  Ended up getting up and started my day.

Lesson learned, don’t drink Espresso later afternoon Sundays, and definitely don’t drink ANY type of coffee at night.

    Thanks for your post and for subscribing. Yes, Espresso and Coffee definitely will sometimes play with your body and keep you up. I’ve had times where it hasn’t affected me, but lately it does so I simply don’t drink it at night anymore.
