I heard that a long time ago some foreigners visited a small vilage in a diffent country. They couldn't believe their eyes when they saw how hard working the people living there were. They would wake up in the early hours of the morning and do a hard days labour working much harder than we do now.
The foreigners used tea as a weapon to get these people. They gave it away free. And the village people became addicted to tea. Within a short period of time the inhabitants of this area became weak, worked less and became more and more reliant on tea. Soon they were spe

Because of the high pace and high demands of the society which do not allow us to sleep as much as we should or the quality sleep we need anyway. We may sleep all the way through the night, but it is not a rejuvanitive as it should be. Also, sometimes it is the environment we make our bedroom into. It should be an environment designed to help one sleep and sleep comfortably, not that many other things that we change it into (besides married couples, we know the other use then and even that incites us to sleep more peacefully afterwards). We just need to sleep better. Not more, just better.

We live in a fast paced culture always on the move. After a while caffeine is very addicting.

It is proven that caffeine is an addicting ingredient. Other than that, It's also a mind thing. I believe if you think coffee will wire you up, your mind is telling you that. At least....That's what my mind tells me.

Well once you start you cant stop. But as research shows you don't need to catch up on sleep, their dolphin subjects didn't sleep as babies that often but as they grew they slep more until they slept a normal amount.

Once you start drinking coffee, you just can't let it go. It's strange.

It's because of the bad diet and lack of exercise. Trying to do everything all at once doesn't help.

I assume you meant 'Tired'? lol
Probably because you are too used to being artificially stimulated by drugs like caffeine, for one!
