    I find I can't drink tea after 9pm in order to get to sleep by 9:30/10:00 pm. The main problem with drinking that late is waking at 2:00am with a terrible need to run to the bathroom in the dark, and finding a deeply unimpressed cat with a flying foot on the way. The scratches take days to heal. Regards, Richard.

    In my 20s I found I couldn't drink anything with caffine after 1pm or I would be crawling the walls well beyond my bedtime. And that was when I had to be up around 4 - 5am.

    I can only choke down coffee if it's half cocoa. Otherwise, it's a hard pass. I don't do bitter. I drink tea occasionally. Usually flavored teas, like Chai or almond, and I add French vanilla creamer. Unless I happen to get a mint or citrus tea (uncommon). Those don't get creamer. And I use tea bags, used once, not squeezed.

    Somehting I found out a few years ago...chai means tea.  So, you drink tea tea? laugh  

    I drink a mug of tea while I watch the Boston news (on the DVR so I can skip the commercials) late nights.  I like Bigelow's Lemon Lift, Cinnamon Stick, sometimes Orange Spice, Earl Grey, sometimes Twinings Chai Ultra Spice. I like it dark, so steep it for at least 3 to 3.5 minutes (except the Chai Ultra Spice - which they recommend to steep for 5 minutes, so I go 6 or more - love the spices in it!), squeeze the bag and toss it.  I use Stevia in the Raw for sweetener.  No milk or cream.

    I used to have that problem. These days my body is like "Horizontal? Cool. Out we go."

    I'll still have to get up twice a night to pee, but that happens regardless. Wasn't a problem before Little Dude came along, but on the list of things that change with pregnancy, that's better than a lot of the options. I'll take it.

    Back when I was in the service, all us plebians used to joke about which of the senior staff NCO's had Coffee Cup 1, 2, or 3 as an essential skill, depending how often (day or night) you would see them with a coffee mug in hand.

    How heavy duty a stroke? I had mine at 43 but visibly fully recovered in 24 hours, unless you count a certain %age of permanent brain damage which, according to my parents I've had since birth anyway wink 

    So far the only things I can say have definitely been affected are losing nearly all my upper body strength (used to bench over 300lbs and weighed around 160lbs, now I can't bench a quarter of that without running out of steam and my weight is up over 200lbs) and occasional typos in spelling (my muscle memory for the keyboard has been compromised).

    Thanks for the kind words all. They did make it through the night, but apparently there are two blood clots, one in their lung and one somewhere else. And a significant brain bleed. In the area that controls speech, memory and recognition. Our mom is with them now and they seem to be able to hear her, but are still unconscious. It could go either way at this point.

    I hope that luck, and the doctors, favour them.
