Late night, last night. Didn't get home until after 3 a.m., yet I woke up at 7:45, as always. Despite the fact that I got home so late, and woke up so early, I'm not tired at all. This hasn't happened to me very often. Now, like anyone else, under normal conditions I would feel lethargic and slow after so little sleep. Not the case today. This could be due to any of a large number of reasons, though I think that it has something to do with the sheer amount of caffiene-based drinks I downed last night (Somewhere in the 11-16 range of 12 oz. cans of pop/soda or whatever it's called, plus a cup or two of coffee).
Either way, the sleep seems to have slowed or ridden the effects of all of that caffeine, save for me being fully alert. No jitters, no nerves, just what appears to be rest. With that in mind, does caffeine before sleep increase rest for shorter periods of sleep? Probably not. In fact, I don't think there's any sort of evidence to back that, if it can even be proven. If it can be proven, maybe I should do that more often.... Kidding, of course, but it would be interesting.
