I don’t get this “caffeine keeps you awake” stuff I keep hearing. I just finished a nice warm cup of hot tea (Dunkin Donuts LARGE) which should be enough caffeine to keep one awake right? And yet all I want to do is take a nap. The same thing happened to me the other day.
I don’t drink coffee (yuck!!) but I drink cold beverages with caffeine and they never keep me awake either. Is this a myth or is my system just different?
Do you drink them regularly? I think you can build up a tolerance. I have.
Dunkin Donuts Tea is probably low quality, I would reccomend checking out http://www.adagio.com, click on gifts and then the Ingenious Tea set. its a mug at a time loose leaf tea brewer that works very well. More loose tea is available at http://www.peets.com . This loose tea not only tastes better, is nearly as quick to make, but it also has much more caffeine. Also if you had any sugar in your dunkin tea they put way to much and that can knock you out anyways. ~Tim
DD never puts in enough sugar. I use Splenda anyway.
