My caffeine addiction is a problem. The frequency of headaches/need for caffeine is increased (last Wednesday, supposedly a caffeine-embargo day, I bought a coffee on the way to class because I was jonesin' some'm bad), and I think the coffee's starting to stain my teeth. Attractive.

I figger with the 2-3 travel mugs of coffee every work day (and at least a junior pot a day on Fridays and Saturdays), added to the uncounted cans and glasses of Diet Coke, I'm pulling in close to a gram of caffeine a day. (Equivalent to 10 6-oz cups of coffee.) Not Foley level, but then, I don't have access to the kind of expensive teeth-bleaching procedures that he must.

I'm worried about the inability to work/wake more than the teeth, of course. And the headaches. Jesus god, the headaches.

Anyhow, this site told me about the hormones and stuff that caffeine messes with, which of course overlap with the sleep hormones. Throw the antidepressants into the mix and you've got an Endocrinological Jamboree.

I've got these two chemical addictions that are playing holy hell with my ability to sleep at night, and I can't function without either of them right now.

Oh, well. Whaddyagonnado.
