"right before I usually try to go to bed" was maybe not the best time to do something nervous-making, but alas.

I'm predicting a third night of sleep problems. Hopefully I don't sleep thru all my alarms tomorrow morning

To quote @lukeplunkett.com :

(to clarify. Bought it yesterday, and tried it after dinner today. I do not think I am having some sort of 24-hour delayed reaction to caffeine lmao)

(I do think it might just be a normal insomnia thing. I usually don't deal with it much these days, but I do have a history of it. And after sitting upright in the dark for a few minutes I'm starting to feel more tired so. Probably a coincidence.)

I think perhaps my dad cursed me with a second night if insomnia in a row by suggesting that I might have difficulty falling asleep.

Now. It's entirely possible that this has nothing to do with the energy drink. I also had trouble sleeping last night, with no energy drink. When I was fully tired. And nights of bad sleep can happen in groups.

However. It would be kind of hilarious if it was from the energy drink

-- and I was like, yeah, who cares, caffeine doesn't affect me ever anyway, it's not like it'll keep me up.

I drank about half of it (the first sip tasted good, but each sip tasted worse than the last. Somehow) and now I am fully awake at midnight.
