My problem is that I can't get asleep at night, and when I do,which occurs not before 5 am, I can't get up easy, I feel as I haven't sleep at all, although I stand up at 16 o'clock!!??! Now, I feel tired and I want to sleep, but I can't fall asleep!!?? What's the problem? Last few months, the only drink I've drank is coca-cola, and now, I've made a correlation between my current problem and caffeine in cola. So, my question is, is it possible that it was caused by coke? Have anybody any proposal what am I supposed to do in order to resolve this problem? Thank you, I appreciate your answer!

Caffeine in many things not just coca cola can cause sleep issues. Cut caffeine out of your diet....at least don't have it after a certain time during the day. If this doesn't help then I would suggest seeing a doctor. Sleep disorders can be a serious thing and can cause other health issues as well. Good luck.

I would have thought that you answered your own question.
Stop drinking Cola drinks or those with caffeine in them Caffeine is a stimulant and it has an accumulative effect.
Tablets like No Doze were caffeine based and used by truck drivers to stay awake. Colas have less caffeine but some people are more sensitive to the effects. Drink Water, or some other form of drink that has no caffeine in it. Also consult your physician for a check up of your system generally to ensure there are no underlying medical issues that are giving rise to your problem

Don't drink any caffeine after noon. It can cause you to not sleep and it is not good for you. You can try the coke decaf. and then just fo off all caffeine. Try taking benadryl, the antihistamine..it's used for older people to help them sleep. It's the sleep ingredient in Tylenol pm and those sleep agents. So, it is safe at 25 to 50 mg. no more than that. If you still have a problem see a DR. at your age you should be sleeping with no problem unless you are stressing about something. If so, try fixing the problem and you may sleep better. Good luck.

...you're kidding, right?
caffeine is a stimulent which floods your body with an chemicalr that basically makes your body think it isn't tired. it basically makes your body forget it's tired, and therefore keeps going, full speed ahead.
caffeine in products such as energy drinks, coke, pepsi or other sodas, teas, coffees or pills (either diet or energy) that keep you awake. it also is added to some pain killers (such as excedrin tension headache) because it helps the medicine work faster.
unfortunatly, caffeine is very addictive. it takes you less than a day to become addicted to caffeine, and if you try to, say skip a day and not have any, the average person will experience headaches and fatigue. it takes about two weeks to break the addiction of caffeine, and just a couple more cokes to get hooked again.
hope i've helped :-)

I tried all of this stuff and it didn't make one bit of difference. So did my brother, and he is chemically sensitive (gets rashes and all that). In fact, for a depressed person, it's an impossible burden to do all these things, because you end up having to get special stuff, and cook from scratch and so on. Overwhelming. I think it's placebo effect when folks follow this strict lifestyle, and also, psychiatric meds often make people worse off, and people see a long term benefit after they've been off those things for many months.

ive had the same problem since starting to drink any cola product, i can go for days without having a good nights sleep and have resorted to taking xanax once a week just to catch up on sleep, maybe we should try the decaf cola and see if it improves?

Caffeine is caffeine.
Try some caffeine free coke after noon.
The sugar may keep you up also so try caffeine free, sugar free coke.
Try milk before bed.

Insomnia is difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep or a disturbance in sleep that makes sleep seem inadequate or unrefreshing.

If you drink anything that has caffeine in it, confine it to the morning or early afternoon hours. It absolutely can interfere with your sleep.
