It's 11pm here where I live and I am still wide awake. I didn't realize what time it was when I finished off my last soda. I'm guessing it was around 10pm. I know 11 may not be that late to some people but I'm a wimp now. My daughter has been waking up very early here lately so if I'm not in bed by midnight I'm exhausted when she wakes up in the mornings. I've just been thrown off my schedule tonight because my fiance has some friends over and I've been here playing on mylot and have lost track of time. So from now on no more caffiene for me past 7pm.
Does anyone else have this problem?

For me it is always 11:30 or 12 when I go to bed at night. But if I take caffiene, I could not sleep until 2 or 2:30 may be more late than that. Usually I try to take less caffiene thing as it is not very healthy. But I can't help myself with tea. Tea also I don't take after 9o'clock at night.

I must be strange because I drink coffee all day and always a last cup before I go to bed and still sleep like a log.

Yeah it always wakes me up around 3am and I feel like its time to get up. Drives me nuts when I do that! Hope you can get some rest soon!

I don't drink soda at all and I don't have coffee after 4 pm.....I wouldn't fall asleep...whole night....
Usually I am in my bed at 1AM and I am full awake at 8AM...basically it is enough for me to have 7 hours of sleep...but I am fully unconscious what is going on...when I sleep….

I used to not have any issues at all with sleep even after I had a bunch of caffeine. Then I cut way back when I was pregnant with my son. After he was born, I kept it cut back to a maximum of 2 or 3 sodas a week. Now when I drink one, I can't sleep for at least 4 or 5 hours. Sometimes I will mess up and drink one when we are out somewhere, and then really regret it when my son wakes up 2 hours after I went to bed!

We share the same problem. The other day I slept so late because of caffaine and its what I dont like when drink coke int the evening. I had no choice that evening its what is only available. I dont even drink coffee in any time of the day coz it causes me heart to palpitate and I dont like the feeling.

I don't have a problem with caffiene. I can drink it and go right to bed and fall right asleep. Thankfully! :) I know several people that have this problem and can't rink pop for hours before they head to bed.

Caffiene doesn't bother me at night, I don't know why, but I can drink it and then fall right asleep. Sometimes I'll drink a cup of coffee in the morning at 5:30, when my husband is getting ready for work. I try to stay up and get some things done, but I start to feel tired,and go right back to sleep.

I do too. I get so lost in what Im doing on the internet and forget time, it doesn't seem to exist. I've looked at the clock and though "oh wow" it's been past 3 am some mornings.
I to do not drink coffee past 7 pm that does help me.

It is a normal phenomenon.When I was in senior school I have a similar symptom like yours.At that time,I must study hard in order to pass the entrance exam to university.So I study very hard all day.But I feel very bad in psychology.When I success to go to university,I find I never have this symptom.So I think if you take your time ,all things will be right.I hope you will be ok,cynddvs.
