Thanks for the add'l insight; I hadn't known that about the signal attenuation (or the efficacy boost).
I don't find that it interferes with my sleep, except in very large doses (something on the order of 20oz+ of energy drink (not accompanied by alcohol) after 10pm); on the other hand, aishlynn is much more sensitive to it, to the point where a soft drink at dinnertime means she won't be ready for bed until well after midnight.
Different folks do have different reactions regarding sleep.
Someone over the weekend told me that they'd seen research that linked the non-sleep impairment to ADHD. I have no idea if that's valid research or not, but it certainly would be an interesting study to read, I think.
For me, it's less about how much caffeine I get as opposed to the source of the caffeine. In college, I could drink a 2L of Jolt and head right to bed. But give me a cup of coffee and I'd be up for hours and hours. Coffee *really* gets me going and thus I rarely have more than one or two cups yearly.
