I'd just like to point out one of Michael R's replies:
"In reply to all those that said "sleep is a better time to cure diseases" the answer is yes, but not with energy boosters since its the drug that keeps you awake..."
In the original post he said you stayed awake so you can get rid of the poison. Make ya mind up, Mick!
Also, we only dream at the end of our nightly sleep. And going to sleep for only 4-5 hours will leave you fresher in the short term, as after 5 hours, we go into a deep sleep, meaning it is harder for our brains to switch back on.
Caffeine belongs to the xanthine chemical group. Adenosine is a naturally occurring xanthine in the brain that is used as a neurotransmitter at some synapses. One effect of caffeine is to interfere with adenosine at multiple sites in the brain including the reticular formation. Caffeine also acts at other sites in the body to increase heart rate, constrict blood vessels, relax air passages to improve breathing and allow some muscles to contract more easily. In other words, it keeps your body too active to actually fall asleep. Caffiene IS lethal, at doses of about 10 grams. Thats 80-100 cups of coffee in rapid succession. Not easy.

Drinking the water in Sydney is potentially dangerous...don't stop me though
Hell, most of the beers I drink mainly consist of Sydney water!
And as discussed earlier, alcohol is a much more effective and dangerous drug than caffiene, so don't listen to Michael R...although he does have a wicked first name...listen to me...I know about good drugs that kick the pants off the petty caffiene stuff we're hearing so much about.
This thread is about promoting drugs right?
BTW...gotta commend you on the wicked avatar Dave!
