i can drink a 6 pack in a night but i usually get a 4 pack of tall cans instead. it's a bit less and makes me feel less bad because i can tell myself I "only" had 4 beers. thats what i did last night

the problem I guess is that say last night I was driving home and I saw an ad for beer at a bar and immediately I wanted to grab a sixer and my mind immediately and only goes to the positives, the feeling of drowning that first beer, the sense of fun.. but I don’t think about how it’ll make me feel. it’s not like I do think about that but then disregard it, I just doesn’t enter my mind.

Yeah the constant advertising/availability is really obnoxious for those of us with broke brains for alcohol. I've learned to tune it out for the most part but man it's annoying I can't even like go into a gas station without having to have a little test of my willpower.

it’s 5:22am and i’ve had the weirdest sleep


I drank 3L of coke zero last night (I don’t normally do this), and I wonder if it’s the caffeine but..

tonight’s been the longest night. I keep waking up and going to the toilet and checking the time and being shocked by how early it was.

like I sleep for an hour, have big dreams, feels like been asleep for many hours, look at the clock and it’s only 1am. rinse, repeat, wow it’s only half past 2

which is a great feeling, like you’ve got so much time left in bed. if I can take caffeine before bed to give myself a subjectively very long night.. that seems like a good way to get great value out of my life

I used to work a bunch of split shifts with a two-hour start at 5:45am. So I'd go home and sleep a little before my 11am shift. One day I achieved this, where I got multiple satisfying sleeps that only lasted a tiny bit of time. It was glorious.

Drinking caffeine before bed won't get you this. If I find a way I'll share it but it's not that.

I have these days - some weeks my sleep is poor and I will slowly accrue a sleep-debt that never feels very burdensome, but then I will get to a weekend (or take a Friday off as leave from work) and not set an alarm, and sleep from say 2am through til late evening; eighteen hours or more isn't uncommon. Wrecks my sleep schedule the next day or two, then the sequence resets.

is there a really awful endgame to being addicted to monster ultra and caffeine in general?

like two cans a day?

i need like, a kick up the rear end to drop this stuff and being told "this is specifically how it is killing you" would be a great starting point

I mean whether or not you develop kidney stones is a body lottery, but that is one of the endgames of energy drink dependence

I sleep really badly recently and it could be one of the following three things:

* Medication
* Too much drinking because I have no willpower
* Hyper awareness of all sounds due to having a toddler that may do something incredibly stupid in the night


I've gotta do some a/b testing poo poo here.

I get temporal lobe seizures (hence the meds) and they're like hosed up weird dreams so I can't tell if I'm having them at night or just having crazy dreams

probably both
