I don't want to fall asleep so I am thinking about going and getting and energy drink. I want to be able to sleep in the long care ride up to vegas does anyone know how long the effects of caffine last and how quickly you are effected by caffine. I use to have a high tolerance for it and was able to drink it whenever but I when I hit 20 for some reason it effects me more.

Sorry everyone I thought you would get the reference, It's from the simpsons where Homer make Bart a bed with a scary clown face. I am just being weird cuz it's late. I want to sleep in the car cuz it is a long boring ride and I'd rather sleep in the car rather than now. If I sleep know then I will be woken up in about 3 hours groggy and teird so I'd rather stay up. I ate fast food today which I haven't done in months. Lotz of spicy food and 3 med size cup refills of MtDew probably why I wasn't tierd. I have been staying up till 2:00am most nights without the aid of caffine so I circadium rythm won't let me fall asleep much early than 12:00. I could have gotten some sleep medicine but too late now.

Staying up all night can be fun. I have done it tons of times. I have taken many psych classes I know sleep depervation can be cause some really bad problems, but your body will make up the R.E.M sleep when you let it. I know it throws your sleep rythm out of whack, but I already know that is going to happen cuz my dad likes to wake me up at 5:00am when we go on vacation cuz he is a di*ck like that. So, I usually don't go on vacations with him cuz I usually feel like crap the entire time. My family has been bi*tching at me to visit during the holiday's. I explain the crap my dad does, but they just tell me to quit being a pu*ssy. Last time I went to Vegas with him he left me at the hotel for 8 hours if it wasn't for the bar in the casino I might have lost it. I don't like to gamble for very long I hate losing.

I got the "Simpsons" clown-will-eat-me reference. Now do as the nice clown voices in your head tell you to do!

Caffeine does effect people differently as you said you use to be able to drink it either in coffee, soda's, or now in those other energy drinks. A lot depends on your body at the time of consumption as to how much rest you have previously had, what types of foods you consumed in the last few hours, etc. It can last from an hour to several hours. You need a dose of chamomile tea in warm milk to help calm down, relax, and begin to count those sheep so you can fall asleep. Save the energy drink for when you get to Vegas. Happy T Day Dude

Don't be foolish Ben: In the first place, I'm from Vegas by the way, don't try and stay awake on purpose, you shouldn't force yourself to stay awake. If you can't sleep, read a good book. Work a crossword puzzle to take you mind off other things, get interested in something the will relax your mind. If you start taking things like energy drinks, I just read about a woman that took "Kava Kava" and had her Kidneys fail, she's now on dialysis. This is a danger.
If you are truly afraid the "clown" will "eat you" then you should see your doctor and he'll give you a referral to another doctor that will help you, good luck

Insomnia (sleeplessness) is due to stress, dietary and medical
problems. By making small lifestyle changes like having a fixed
daily routine, relaxing and eating properly, insomnia can be
cured. I found the information at http://tinyurl.com/jfzpz useful
for getting sleep.

Don't watch Stephen King's "IT" before you go to bed. If you want to sleep in the car use a blindfold to keep out the light and use your ipod to listen to calming music.
