Caffeine is a drug like any other. Too much can be a real bad thing. I learned that the hard way. My sleep schedule was always way out of whack for the longest time. Sometimes I would try to fix it, having a cup of coffee at 2 am. And another at 5 am. And I'd have another at 8, trying to stay awake for the whole day just to crash at a reasonable time but then sleep for 14 hours and have to try and do it again. You know what it's like to wake up at 7 pm? It's brutal.

Nowadays I've learned to manage it a bit better. I wouldn't give it up completely because I just love coffee too much. But in general if I only have 1 cup of coffee a day, and as long as I have it before lunch, I've been able to maintain a more normal schedule for myself.

So, it's fine in moderation. Fuel of the modern world and all, don't you know.
