Psyber Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 Sleep is not just a blank space in your life, it is an essential bodily function. Sleep deficiency causes mental and physical deterioration over time, and has been used as a torture technique. Anyone would be mad to do it to themselves.
iNow Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 I took a really great class the last time I was at university, and my Cognition professor used to say this one line all of the time which really has stayed with me.... Sleep is food for the brain. Too bad so many of us are starving ourselves.
thedarkshade Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Too bad so many of us are starving ourselves. Everything has a reason (4th principle of recognition philosophy), therefore our 'starving' does too... but then you still have to get it (sleep) in one way or another, even in school:rolleyes:...
falcon9393 Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 That's not a very good idea. Get sleep. Get exercise. Energy drinks are not so good. I do drink tea, or the occasional espresso, but never after noon. hey im not the brightest bulb in the tanning bed but it works for me! and i think espressos are way worse than energy drinks!
iNow Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 i think espressos are way worse than energy drinks! Let's see. Espresso = Roasted coffee beans and water. Energy drinks = Uhhmmm... I'm not a chemist, so I can't type or pronounce half the stuff, but it's a lot crap that seems to cause siezures and heart attacks in a fair number of people.
Mag Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Point is, Kaytie11, go to sleep when you're tired and all will be well. Now, unless you have narcolepsy (excessive daytime sleepiness), that is something else, but from what you've described you're just tired at night.

YT2095 Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 well a good 4 of those IIRC are simply members of the Vitamin B group! know to assist the CNS, so nothing really to worry about there, but I guess if you don`t Know anything about medicine then those words May seem a little intimidating. however, if you want SCARY! just look up the ingredients in a Pot-Noodle!
Phi for All Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 oh there is more in an espresso than just roasted coffee beans and waterUntrue statement. I think you were referring to the fact that coffee itself has many things in it which may affect the body. But there is nothing but roasted coffee beans and water to an espresso. More oil from the roasted coffee beans is removed via the process, but it's still just roasted coffee beans and water. 1

falcon9393 Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 It's caffeine! thanks i thought i screwed up the spelling of it!
thedarkshade Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 thanks i thought i screwed up the spelling of it! Nah, everyone would understand! By the way, why don't you add a little "Cogito, ergo sum" to your signature:eyebrow:!
falcon9393 Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Nah, everyone would understand! By the way, why don't you add a little "Cogito, ergo sum" to your signature:eyebrow:! and what exactly is that ???
falcon9393 Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 I think, therefore I am (in latin) ohhh lol gotchya
thedarkshade Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 I thought it could be interesting for the thread: Six minutes nap A famous psychological hypothesis again reaches confirmation!
Psyber Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 From memory "guarana seed extract" contains caffiene - only the name is changed to protect the market share!
