Unsnore.

So, I slept lotsly and have been 'awake' for a few hours now. Since around 3:00 am actually. Its taken me this long just to read through my LJ backlog.

Now, I'm going to get me another cup of this 1/4 decaf coffee to help wake me. (We're starting Atkins shortly, probably after the Garden Party), so taxlady is weaning herself off of caffeine by quarters...

and here I am trying to convince myself to fall asleep. Somehow, I must wake up with my alarm clock at 8.

This will be difficult.

I'm sure she doesn't want my advice, but I'd go cold turkey. For me, at least, that leaves me unhappy and unfocussed for about 36 hours and then I'm fine. But decaf freaks my metabolism out, because it keeps receiving these false promises of stimulants, and I end up not knowing whether to drink or not, not knowing whether to sleep or not, and completely unsafe around heavy machinery....

Then again, I can't POST on alcohol, so go figure.

Any diet that doesn't allow caffeine is evil.

Yeah, well I have to agree on that. I much prefer having a nasty headache that requires a few 222's to take care of for a short time, than to go through the whole weaning thing. But I'm also not much of an addict. taxlady is MUCH more of an addict, and she's also the sort of person who wants to step into a cold swimming-pool by milimeters. I'm often DONE swimming and ready to come out before she's even all-the-way in.

Actually, the diet simply says you should not be addicted to caffeine during it. The easiest way to insure that is to not have any for the first two weeks.

OK, slightly less evil then.
