Assuming it's about caffeine, they have pills for that.
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Or strong tea, the caffeine that built the Empire

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, I'm knocking back a cup of Blue Mountain this morning. But it's definitely not an every day thing. I'd definitely rather be filling my stomach with juice at this point.
I just can't divorce myself from the feeling that dosing myself with caffeine in the morning is because something didn't go right in the night (oh, say, like last night). She says to go to bed when I get tired. Which is more than 4 hours after the pills, and it's not like I'm sleepy. So it took me at least 2 more hours after that to fall asleep. And I woke up bunches, and stayed up bunches.
Yeah, coffee is probably recommended, but I'd rather an Ambien-faulty night of sleep and a sometimes cup of green tea, thanks.

Well, it would take two or three cups of strong tea to make up one cup of coffee, so that's even more "healthy" liquid I'm not drinking.

Because books.
I can't even imagine my morning without a couple mugs of strong black tea. Or, say, a whole pot.
Recommending a cup of coffee has to be one of the strangest things I've heard a doctor "prescribe".

Not to mention I thought I was contributing to good sleep hygiene by limiting myself to no more than one cup of tea (usually green) and always before lunch on a school night.

I am increasing skeptical of this doctor, for the record.

See, I drink tea all day and all evening. Every day. Sometimes I wonder if the caffeine even affects me anymore, or if it's just psychological.
But I don't like coffee, and I got sick of soda, and like Plei, I really don't like water, so ... tea it is.

I've already had a pot of black tea this morning, and I'm brewing some green tea right now. But never after 3:00pm.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Does green tea have caffeine in it?
