I remember a couple times I went to DefCon there was a guy with a booth selling pure caffeine powder in little baggies. I didn't start drinking coffee until my mid thirties. I can resoundingly say I slept better and woke up easier without it.

That stuff is more powerful (stimulant effect-wise) by weight than cocaine and thus much easier to O.D. on. I can't imagine being that caffeine-addicted.

Sleep patterns do tend to change with age. I find that caffeine after ~2 P.M. is a lot more disruptive than before. I drink ~40 fluid ounces of strong drip coffee and don't have any trouble waking up (or any sort of headache, at least not anything immediate, I definitely service the habit). If I stick closer to 30 floz, I don't think I get a headache at all.
