Caffeine is a complex substance, its interaction with your body is going to have a personal element.
Some of its properties: it is a diuretic, a vitamin C inhibitor, it increases your blood pressure.
Anadin Extra is merely Anadin with added caffeine.
So you should treat it with appropriate measures. Just saying it affects sleep from its stimulation effects is not the whole story.
Your body has a daily cycle. I would contend that staying up after midnight creates more imbalance than not. "Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise" is not as glib a suggestion as it sounds.
I know from direct experience as my doctor told me "go to bed before midnight and throw away your alarm clock" and I've thanked him for it ever since.
Back to the coffee : I've experiemented with it on myself. My results are "no more than 1 litre fresh ground a day (about 30g of beans I think), all before 14:00hrs".
And if you want to lose weight, drink it right after meals.
- fluidcruft 16y agoJust to supplement your caffeine trivia, most over-the-counter pain relievers contain caffeine as a fast-acting component to provide some relief for some types of pain before the medication has a chance to kick in. The "night-time" versions usually just omit the caffeine.

I wish I could be a morning person. I've been trying for years. I started running first thing in the morning, and I loved it. I would give up sex for it. What ends up happening is, I start sleeping 4-6h each night and become sleep deprived. After 3-5 months I'm burned off. Now, my neurologyst, who does sleep research, says it will be probably impossible to make me a morning person. She put me on melatonin and english breakfasts, and on a 10-to-2-AM cycle, and I found out about a new state of being, well rested and fresh. So, that may not be possibility for everyone...
