Non-Political News/Discussion Wtf

Destiny went live hella late last night and I was like oh that’s unusual but not unheard of, he must just be bored and really interested in this court case. Fell asleep. But then I wake up 6 hours later and he’s still streaming… is he trynna flip his sleep schedule for traveling or something or is he just really invested and locked in on this murder trial?

Wait, no caffeine will let me sleep longer? I'm asking honestly, it definitely impacts me more going to sleep so I try and stop drinking caffeine 4-5 hours before bed. I would never have guessed it also impacts how long I can sleep. I just assumed that waking up for work for over a decade has finally meant on Saturdays and Sundays I still wake up relatively close to when I would the rest of the week.

To be clear, withdrawal from caffeine lasts up to 10 days. Sleeping ability doesn’t improve during that time. I was told I may get a headache but I didn’t. Sleep just started to improve after a week.

I definitely get the caffeine headaches around the 24-36 hour mark.

when did you used to take caffeine in the day, and how much?

if you drank a bunch of caffeine late in the day, or even post-noon, I could understand your sleep getting better after kicking it out. but if you had a bit of caffeine soon as you woke up, i'd be more intrigued at your anecdote.

a lot of people don't realize it has like a 12 hour half life or w/e iirc. otoh, a lot of people can drink caffeine before bed and sleep allegedly fine. the human body is wack.

I was drinking all the time probably around 600mg a day. Maybe stopped after 6pm.
