I wrapped all the presents! Fear me!

The last time I went to the store I accidentally bought soda with caffeine and now every night I am WIDE AWAKE OH HI!!! at the time when I am usually trying to fall asleep. And so, a poll about a very important question, brought on by the frantic whirring in my head. OH HI!!!

[Poll #1320159]

ETA: You people and your hedging! These three are HARD, though, so I respect your pain and indecision. Pansies.

So, yeah. I may never settle down enough to sleep again. How is this level of caffeination legal?! People let their kids have this stuff! 0.0

While we're talking about SGA, then: I really loved this SGA santa fic - it's a lovely piece of teamfic and was the perfect thing to read while I'm finishing up the show.

My sleep issues are their own thing, irrespective of the caffeine, but it always makes me go o.O when people report caffeine actually, like, keeps them awake. Me, it just keeps functional. I am a true and unlikely-to-change junkie. That is to say, if I have none, aside from the headache that sets in within a very few hours--no, seriously, single-digit hours--I pretty much slow to nonfunction. If I did as folks all say and actually didn't drink caffeine after noon? I'd have a caffeine-deficit headache by bedtime much less by the next morning.

And I have been known to drink a quad latte at 7:30 am, go to the gym, do an hour of spin class, shower, come home around 10, and fall immediately asleep for a two-hour nap.

Heh.
