This might sound crazy but I do drink coffee before sleeping. I love coffee and it makes my day. At night, my hubby would tell me to drink milk, but everytime I do, I sneak to add coffee in it_ I just love the taste and it doens't disturb my sleep. I just wonder, are there people like me?

Before I see your comments, I thought Red Bull is a China brand. Now I get the information from wikipedia that Red Bull is produced and sold by a Austrian Company. I have drunk Red Bull before, and I think it is no helpful and no harmful for sleep. But for me, drinking coffee will make it difficult to sleep.

Hi, welcome to the club. I can't sleep without my cup of coffee either. I tried once or twice, drank chocolate or tea before bedtime, and I couldn't sleep at all!

i used to drink coffee several times a day everyday until a few years ago when i stopped. coffee now has been like a social drink for me... perhaps less than 10 cups a year or basically for an important meeting with donors and clients or something. i do believe you when you say you drink coffee to sleep. because believe it or not, after trying to stop drinking the stuff, whenever i drink coffee... it makes me sleepy. while for others, coffee will keep them awake... for me it has the reverse effect.

Hi friend, Its seems surprised to me.In our country we generally drink tea rather than coffee at night time.But in case your case it is reverse.May be like you some guys would be there who do the same thing hehehe...Some people are saying drinking too much of coffee leads to some health problem.So my advise just cut your habit and drink some other fruits related drinks at night time. Have a nice day

Hi again kyss_smyle, Yes you are not unique. My sister joins me for a strong black espresso, Illy what a coincidence, she sleeps after. Another friend of mine does that too. Me I do not sleep immediately but I do sleep after having coffee as well.

Me too. Basically I could take coffee at any time and it seems the cafeine has no special direct impact on me. Coffee is just coffee and I never see it as a stimulating stuff Even very strong espressos won't keep me awake if I just want to go to sleep. I guess my body has get accustomed to the excessive amount of cafeine and won't react at all.

hi kyss_smyle i really don't know if people would prefer coffee while going to sleep. I know people drink tea / coffee not to fall asleep specially when they are studying overnight. In anycase i dont like coffee so much. I would watch teleivsion or a movie to get sleep.
