The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXXII

JLarson

Morning all! Midweek is here.

Continuing notes from my caffeine deprivation experiment:
After 3 weeks of no caffeine, Saturday morning I had about 6 oz's of coffee. On the plus side I actually get the rush from caffeine again, if I choose to consume it. But interestingly enough, sleep quality immediately declines - my sleep that night, although longer than usual, left me feeling grainy eyed and unrested. Didn't have another cup after that.

Sleep has definitely improved as an average. Hitting Deep Sleep for 15-20% of the night on a regular basis, REM for about the same. While taking in coffee, I was pretty commonly under 10% for both. Even when 1 of those was high, the other would typically be low so that my average for both combined was about 20%, now it's a little over 30%.

TL;DR - nothing to see here people. Just the musings of a recovering caffaholic.

Preach it, brother!

From the reading I've done, it seems that some people are disproportionately affected by caffeine. I guess I'm one of them - bummer. Didn't start off that way. I used to have 3-4x 16 oz coffees per day and sleep just fine. I guess maybe 2 years ago was when I noticed that wasn't working so well any more.

I got other issues. LOL When I am at Zdayz I will not sleep worth a crap. It takes me 2 weeks of sleeping in the same place before I sleep good. I will sleep light as a feather otherwise. At home, The place could be blowing up and I wouldn't have a clue. Snoozing away.

Spoiler

Interesting problem... so why don't you head up to ZdayZ now and when we get there we will wake you up... believe me, we all want you fresh for this event..

It usually takes me a night to get acclimated in a new place, then good luck waking me up.

Rusty

Yea.....................we know you got issues........

I can sleep like a rock in my own house. Go to a motel, hotel, campground. I sleep real light. And it's not good sleep.

Ive never had problems sleeping in a new place. My problem was waking up and the first few seconds, not knowing where Im at.

Coyote Ugly. Wake up, look over and go WTF. It's still sleeping on your arm. So you chew your arm off to get away without waking it. If it's really bad. You chew off both arms. That's a Double Coyote Ugly,

I have this problem virtually everywhere. I'm not sure if its a strong survival instinct gone wrong or something else, but unless I'm truly exhausted, noise or motion will wake me immediately.

While I was on active duty, I normally slept under the 5 ton holding the shelter, with a 400 Hz generator about 10' away. I'd wake up when the generator shut off.

While I can go to sleep almost anywhere, the least little noise will wake me up and I'll have to check the house before I go back to sleep. Hotels drive me nuts, I ask for a room on the highest floor, the farthest from the elevator.
