     That's how caffeine works for me. I drink about 20 cups a day and need
     one just before I go to bed or I have trouble sleeping. A lot of meds
     works backwards on me. Codine peps me up and anything that causes most
     people to bounce off walls puts me to sleep....we are all different. I
     am begining to think I have a touch of ADD or something. I have a lot
     of the same symptoms some of my kids and grandkids have....
