Hi, every day i started my life with a cup of coffee. Big cup of coffee. I am a regular smoker too. 1 pack a day. and i think i'm addicted to coffee. Every day, i take 6-10 cup of coffee. And i read in some web, that combination of coffee and smoking is bad to our health. And i know that. Coffee has cafein. Cigarette has nicotine. Of course that's bad. But how bad ? The fact is i try to quit, but i can't.
The problem is don't care how many cups i take in one day, i still can sleep like a dead pig.
It said that when we take coffee, it will prevented us from sleeping and keep us awake. Is that true ? Because i found out that, doesn't happened to me. Still can sleep like baby lol.
How much do you take every day ?

I only drink one glass in the morning. I get to nervous if I drink to much more than that.

Hi Kyledc, I love coffee - just like you, it's an addiction. I used to take 5-6 cups per day. My hubby was nagging me about it so much, so I compromised and cut down to 3 cups - well, I still have my daily java! And it doesn't affect my sleep at all; my last cup is usually just before bedtime!

Hi there! I normally drink two cups of coffee every morning and I feel like my day is not completed if I don't have coffee, lol. I do try to not drink coffee in the evening, because I do find it hard to sleep at night. You are very lucky to be able to sleep like a baby, even though you drink a lot of coffee, lol. Btw, welcome to mylot and have fun.

i usually drink 2-3 mugs of coffee the past few months because i'am working online. being in front of the computer for long hours makes me sleepy, so i drink coffee to stay awake especially at night.

I don't drink any coffee and I don't think it's likely that I will start. I believe I'm capable of starting the habit, but seeing how annoyed people get when they don't get their coffee has warned me off of caffeine addiction. Also, I don't particularly enjoy the taste of coffee unless it's mixed with all kinds of sugar and flavoring at Starbucks, which is expensive. For now I just stick to drinking tea with honey, which actually does taste good, provides me with vitamin C, and gives me the caffeine to start the day.

i do drink 2-3 cups of coffee daily... i, too, am not sure if coffee prevents you from taking a sleep, coz i usually drink a cup of coffee before i go to sleep, and when i finish my cup of coffee, i could also sleep at once.... :)

I used to drink coffee all the time but gave it up quite a long time ago. It used to give my heart palpitations as well as the smoking. It took me years to quit smoking but I am glad I did. I have saved a lot of money as well as my health. I used to drink tea twice a day and the rest of the day decaffeinated coffee but lately I have been just drinking decaf coffee. It is just as well it is decaf as I drink up to ten cups a day and it would keep me awake.

I always have a mug of coffee with breakfast because I think the caffeine gets me going. If I have any more coffee after that it will usually be the decaffeinated type, but I'm more likely to drink green tea or fruit tea for the rest of the day, and perhaps a hot chocolate as a nightcap.
That seems to work well for me. Occasionally I find it hard to get to sleep even though I haven't had any caffeine since the morning, but I think that is because my mind is active on some project I've been working on.

Hi, I like to drink coffee. Usually once a day, but more only if i need to.
I think each person has different 'capacity' of coffee intake. And I've heard ppl say that coffee has its lethal dose. So there will be a limit to how much coffee your body can take in / there's a limit to how useful coffee can keep you awake.

Hi, I like coffee very much. When I was young, one of my father's friend had a coffee shop. From then, I begin to love coffee very much. And that was the first time for me to touch coffee. Some years later, when I studied in the senior high school, I began to drink coffee again. Because I have to prevent me from sleeping. That was the seconf time for me to touch coffee. But I have to say from then on, I couldn't stop drinking coffee. I really like it very much. Maybe I have drunk a lot, so nowadays it counldn't prevent me from sleeping. I addict to it. Some people say it is harmful to my health, but I still like to drink it.

When I was still in my previous job, I used to have at least 3 cups of coffee a day. That was one in the morning, one after lunch and one in the afternoon. Now that I am back to being a student, I usually have only one cup of coffee a day and sometimes none at all if wake up too late 
. I love coffee even if I don't take it everyday.
I haven't experienced not falling asleep after drinking coffee. I can sleep like a baby as well even after drinking coffee .

Zero. I dont drink coffee. In fact I have never even tasted it because I cannot stand the smell of it.
