I had a bad experience once. I was playing Magic the Gathering at a friend's place, and we thought it would be cool to have a couple of espressos each to ramp up our game. This, of course, was after 9 p.m. By the time I got home by 12 or so, I sat in the chair for a good 30 min. to an hour trying to fend of an anxiety attack from the caffeine...fatigue set in eventually. I don't remember how much coffee I had earlier that day. There's a good chance I had one or two cups at least. So... who knows how much caffeine I had in my system by midnight. The half life is 6 hours or so.

Hang in there, champ. You might see what I mean if you drop off on the caffeine suddenly and not be so stressed out from work as much. Your body is likely going to switch into cocoon mode.

This is a big thing for me. I hate the thought of
needing to have coffee before going to do something...sometimes to the point of not wanting to do it at all without it...sometimes being a moody brat if required to suffer without it. Who wants that? I don't.

In the meantime, I'm going to be experimenting with the documented content of L-theanine in sencha.
