I start my day with coffee and drink Diet Coke or Pepsi through out. Like you, my schedule doesn’t leave me much time for sleeping, so it does help. I’ve recently switched to water after 7:00pm on most nights, and thus far, I’m still able to get the jobs done. I think I start pushing that time forward and see what happens.

Little steps do work……………:)

I heart coffee. I’ll drink it even when I don’t need the pick me up.

But caffeine that’s seeping into my skin via soap? Kinda scares me!

I don’t drink caffeine very often but I’ve heard somewhere that apples have the same amount of energy boosting power as a cup of coffee. (I may be very wrong lol) I haven’t tried it out as apples don’t agree with my stomach and in all honesty…I don’t like their taste.

Okay I just googled it and while it’s a a great thing to eat in the morning to wake you up (yay carbs!) It will not keep you awake. Drats! I say give emergen-c a shot.

Found your site through Roni’s page (although I’m pretty sure she doesn’t know I’ve been lurking). I’ve been on and off the caffeine merry-go-round, not in small part due to working thirds Here’s a link to some other alternative forms of caffeine that you might enjoy peeking at:

IMO the most amusing is probably the JavaPops…although I’ve never ordered it’s fun to look at…

I use electrolyte packets which are quite similar to the Emergen-C packets, but with more vitamin C. They really help to boost my energy levels when I need to be chasing daycare kids around!

I use electrolyte packets, quite similar to the Emergen-C packets, but with more vitamin C in them. They work wonders for my energy! Angie's last blog post..Are You Using Monotonous Cardio To Burn Fat?

Workoutmommy, my kids have Autism, and that sometimes comes with sleep issues. I’m sure your little one will be sleeping through the night in no time!!!!!

I’m a coffee addict too. Of course there are many studies that show it’s good for us too, in moderation (as are most things!). So, I’ll try to keep my levels down to 2 cups a day.

Of course, indulging in the nice dark chocolates could work too right? Yep, sorry, I’m no help.

thanks for some great suggestions! I am going to try and find some of the water (I did not know about this!) and also the emergen-c packets. Thanks also for letting me know I’m not the only one with kids who don’t sleep. (and that I only have 4 more years to go Alyssa? yikes!)
