I need sleep to function. Not a morning person, but I get up and make it happen. Sometimes this means 2-3 cups of coffee.
I start getting sleepy anywhere between 2200 and 2300 hours.I had the same thing happen to me - I found Vitamin B12 tablets at GNC - 1000mg - put one under my tounge (remember doing acid in the 60's?) and within a few minutes, I have my natural energy level back - no crash either - I love it! It was so bad in the afternoon for me, I felt like I could just lay down and go to sleep - I no longer have that issue with the B12 caplets. I've tried the walmart brand because they are cheaper, but not the same effect, so I only buy from GNC.

For a long time, I was truly a night person. Then I made the transition to being a 'morning' person, where my day normally started around 4:30 am. Now, due to my work schedule, I'm an evening/night person.
A.J. if your body needs sleep (usually 7-8 hours) then caffeine is only going to help a little bit. You can't 'bank' sleep or 'catch up' on sleep either. You use it or lose it. Kind of difficult sometimes.

@Bob-Beatty Actually Bob, the picture you put on Facebook a few weeks ago of the pack of B vitamins you were using (probably the ones you described) was what inspired me to try this. So thanks! I forgot I never properly thanked you! I had heard good things about B vitamins but it was that Facebook post that got me thinking about it very seriously.
-
@ajstringham Does it work for you? I had a couple of people tell me it didnt do much, but others swear by it.
-
@bud Yup. People say that you should "catch-up" on your sleep. Not actually possible. You just rest longer for a stretch of time to rejuvenate yourself to be back to functional. But yea, you can't make up sleep.
-
@bob-beatty Well, I'm on Day 20 in a row of no caffeine. Period. Maybe an infinitesimal amount from a little chocolate on a candy bar but that's it. I've had longer and more stable energy and ZERO crashes. I'll never go back. Almost broke down this morning and got some Cola because I was so tired but my mom talked me out of it. Glad I didn't.
-
@bob-beatty part of why it works from some and not others is you have to give up the caffeine and take good quality B12.

coffee is the best medicine-out of topic good morning everyone
-
@Joyfano Good morning maam.
-
@Bob-Beatty Good morning Sir
-
I make up sleep. Works like a charm.
-
@scottalanmiller It's scientifically impossible. You don't make up sleep. Your body just shuts down until it's significantly recovered. That damage is done though.

@ajstringham This is how Scott does it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bflYjF90t7c

@PSX_Defector Sounds about right...

Nervous? Or anxious?
-
Most people too much coffee just makes them need to use the comfort room too often

@scottalanmiller Nervous? Or anxious?

OK I can admit to that.
