Can you sleep after having a cup of coffee or more?

Odd as it may sound a have to drink one or two cups of coffee before going to bed. If I don't I am up all night. I think my body must have an addiction to caffeine. I drink 12 to 18 cups of coffee every day. if I don't I get a pounding headache and my body gets all jittery.

I used to be like that before. Even after drinking 3 or 4 cups, I can doze off immediately. But now, even if I just have 1 cup, I have difficulty sleeping. I'm not complaining. Actually, I like it the way it is now because I know that whenever I need my eyes wide open, I can rely on that 1 cup of coffee to assist me.

Hello,Caesarin! Drinking too much coffee is not good for health,specially one should not drink coffee before going to bed.At the long run it will damage your health.Instead you may drink a glass of warm milk which will help in many ways.thanx.

Well, I am a coffee lover. I drink an average of 5 cups a day. It seems that coffee has different effects on me, depending on what time I drink it. Usually in the morning, I drink coffee and makes me active and awake. I drink coffee during breaks. In the evening, I drink coffee but never had a problem going to sleep.

I can too.... several people doesn't manage to sleep after drinking coffee (ore tea) after dinner, or even during the afternoon.. instead, fortunately I manage... there are other causes that don't let me sleep, as light, noises or something like these... I drink coffee almost everyday... I wouldn't do it, if it caused me problems..

Sometimes coffee can bring the opposite effect: after drinking coffee, a person becomes sleepy and very lazy. I prefer energizers instead of coffee, if the main goal is to stay awake. But otherwise, I adore the taste of coffee, but it does not help me to stay awake. I don`t know why. Maybe already addiction.

My roommate laughs at me because he says how can you drink coffee and go to sleep, why doesn't it keep you awake like me. I have no idea, I am the same as you.

Caffeine does not keep me awake at night. I don't drink coffee, but I do drink soda with caffeine in it all day up until I go to bed at night and it never keeps me awake.

Drinking processed coffee has a short term effect on me. After that I become worse off, feeling more sleepy and more tired. That is why I can sleep after drinking coffee. Maybe because during the process something important is lost, or the ratio of chemical constituent changes and leads to different reactions in different people. Strangely enough one local brand, not easily available, does have the desired effect. all the best, rosdimy

I also can drink coffee before bed and still sleep. I do not have an addiction for it. I do drink it every day though.

I can go to sleep after drinking coffee also. Maybe it is just a myth that it keeps us awake. I know it keeps me more alert if I want it to, but drinking it before I go to bed does not stop me sleeping in the slightest. I am glad others on this discussion are like me also. Both tea and coffee have the same effects with me also.

when i first started drinking coffee, it will keep me up for a long long long time before i get tired. but after i drank it more and more everyday and i am use to it, i have no probably sleeping at all. it doesn't seem working on me (keep me awake).

I drink probably 3 cups a day and have to make sure i dont have any about 6 hours before going to bed. If i have loads of stuff to do then i will have some or an energy drink late at night, other wise i stay off the black stuff as my brain races around like crazy when i try to sleep.

Hi, caesarin. Yes, pretty much I get very sleepy after drinking coffee. It starts to hit me about 30 minutes after I drink it. I will start to get very drowsy.
