Hello !! This is my FIRST posting, altho I have been an avid reader of the Insomnia Forum for over 6 months.
First, a bit about myself. I am 57 y/o and have been a pharmacist for 38 years (I am now retired for the last 2 yrs due to severe, chronic pain from NON-cancerous causes). I have practiced pharmacy for 20 yrs in retail and for 18 yrs in hospital settings. I have dealt with (MY OWN) insomnia issues for roughly 30 yrs.
I wish to thank Sandman for helping me to register for the Sleepnet forums. I had difficulty doing so, but when I sought his help, he answered my query with lightening speed.
Now, re: weirds post about caffeine. I think one would be more sensitive to caffeine after sleep deprivation. With deprivation, you are sooo tired that any CNS stimulant (especially ones that you have had none of during your deprivation of sleep) would be VERY NOTICEABLE to you. Hope this helps, weird.
Happy ZZZzzzs,
