I love coffee and have a travel mug (=2 cups) of it every morning. Yum. I don't know if it does anything for alterness, but the taste makes me happy and the smell perks me up.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

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?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I am also hating your doctor, ita. I did the same thing with trazadone a month ago, and I HATED it. I got little to no sleep on it, the sleep I got was rotten, and I staggered around like a drunk the next day, was off balance, felt stupid. And it wasn't the shitty sleep; it was the drug. I know me some sleep-dep feeling. It was horrid.
And any sleep doc should know that there's no way to stock up on sleep.
I drink one cup of cappucino when I wake up. I used to drink tons of coffee, but I've been a one cupper for about 5 years now -- maybe another cup on really tired days, but abso never after noon.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Still doesn't explain how I'm going to get HD-cable picture quality off the internet.
You can get some iTunes TV shows and movies in HD.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
the preponderance of the evidence is that it improves performance
My understanding of the science is that this is only true with occasional use, or when used to treat ADD. A cup every morning only feels like it wakes you up because without it, you're in withdrawal.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They mention buying from iTunes, don't they? That will get you HD, at least. I don't know about Amazon.

Absolutely. The whole not being able to see in single vision that didn't resolve until the afternoon? Major trazadone dosage fail. So now I have to hope the lower dosage gets me good sleep tonight or tomorrow night. Because I will be calling her back Thursday to give her a blow by blow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But that's moment-to-moment improvement, no? I mean, I guess it depends what the question is. Does a cup of coffee wake me up today? Yes it does, whether or not that's because of withdrawal.

I've tried both, and there are clearly visible artifacts that are not there on cable.

I'm amazed at the difference coffee makes in helping The Boy to focus -- and that's on top of Ritalin. The Ritalin helps noticeably, but the caffeine on top of that also has a marked effect.

I was about to say that I *must* have a cup (a giant cup, okay?) to wake up, but yeah, I imagine it's more that I must have a cup to stave off the junkie shakes.

My TV is only 720, but I've never had that problem with iTunes.
