There are all kinds of energy drinks on the market now, including Red Bull and Monster, with ingredients like guarana (whatever that is), taurine (whatever that is), ginseng (okay, it's a root), glucuronolactone (I don't want to know), and of course, caffeine. Yesterday before we went to play our beach volleyball game, I picked up a bottle of the new Mountain Dew Energy drink (the same as regular Mountain Dew in the States), which has caffeine in it, and is "not recommended for children, pregnant or breast-feeding women, or caffeine sensitive persons." So I drank the drink, went to bed later on at 11:00, and couldn't fall asleep until after 3 in the morning. That stuff messed up my sleeping pattern, and from now on I'm sticking to a good old cup of joe, which my body can handle.

don't you just hate when you can't fall asleep. especially when you know you have to be up early and the minutes just keep ticking by and you try to not let yourself look at the clock, because you get more upset to see that an hour and a half has passed without a wink of sleep. but then i wonder if in all that time laying in bed if you do happen to sleep at all. steve do you think you had any sleep from when you went to bed till 3?
