Don’t misunderstand me, my body’s no temple and I still drink a lot of coffee but its jar stuff mainly. I have a thermal pint pot I got from Clacket Lane about 6 years ago and I suppose I drink about 5 or 6 of those a day plus whatever I drink at home.
I got caffeine poisoning about 15yrs ago. I was doing jury service at the time and for the second week I didn’t get picked for the entire week. The restaurant was free and a gang of us just sat there for 7hrs a day and did nothing other than chat, smoke and drink fresh gound coffee which was in one of those industrial coffee boilers so it was very stewed. On the Friday morning I noticed a slight trembling which by lunchtime had got so bad I couldn’t hold a cup. It was awful. I went straight to my GP and he picked up on my weeks coffee drinking. I had a ‘dry’ week and that put it right. I’ve just been wary of it since. When the radio4 programme was aired they mentioned a website from a Boston medical school which had the results of a study into the effects of high caffeine intake.
I keep clear of the high dose caffeine drinks simply because I don’t want a repeat performance.
Off actual topic but on the subject of sleeping or not (says he at 2am in the morning ), if you’re ready for your sleep and haven’t had anything to eat for your tea, DON’T EAT A BLOODY POT NOODLE
I’ve only recently figured it too . I had one just before I went to sleep Sunday night coz I was hungry and I dunno what’s in the [zb] but bet they’re full of E-numbers for sure, but I was up all night tossing and turning not really awake but just couldn’t drop off. I had one next night too and same thing. Couldn’t figure it . I can usually get to sleep no probs. Tuesday, Wednesday had summat else but last night, same thing again after having one .
I tend to drink a couple of cups of coffee a day then I go for decaf. I like fresh ground, but I feel myself going hyper and get an upset stomach when I drink too much of the stuff. I have never felt the need for Red Bull or Pro Plus. If I’m that tired then I’ll have a short kip. As for Pot Noodles, try getting an extremley interesting book called E for Addatives, have a look at the label on the pot noodle and have a look at the e-numbers and what side effects they give. I guarantee you Rob, you’ll never eat another one .
