If you spend a week laying way off of caffeine, limiting your dosage each day, and then drink a 32-oz. Diet Coke at a movie Friday night, you just might find that you have trouble falling asleep.
Tuesday: a couple cups of vanilla chai at work
Wednesday: 12 oz. Diet Coke, some vanilla chai
Thursday: 20 oz. Diet Coke, some vanilla chai
Friday: 24 oz. Diet Coke, some vanilla chai
I wish I didn't actually find myself craving the flavor of Diet Coke every so often. It's weird to be in that "mmm... eww..." mindset where I've made myself recognize the metallic flavor, but part of me doesn't care.
In other news, my New Years Resolution to order no French Fries is still intact.

So far, so good for me as well.
And keep up the good work with caffiene, it is so worth it.
It's the fried part I'm swearing off of, not the carbs ;-)
I...miss...fried food, SO MUCH. (slumps against landspeeder and sobs like a Jedi)
homemade hash browns, then. Mm, fried.
However, I gave up Diet Coke cold turkey in, I think,
Fall 2003 or maybe even Fall 2002 and have not had a single
one since. I drank water every time I craved it at work
and started instantly sleeping better. I feel really
good about that.
This is the first time in a while caffeine has affected my sleep schedule, though. And, I suppose it's actually possible some other influences might have affected my ability to sleep last night... :)
