Now that I’m coffee-free I’m even more sensitive to caffeine. The other day I went to bed on time so that I could wake up refreshed. But as I lay in bed my mind was racing. Even meditating didn’t help to get me to fall asleep. Then it hit me, I’d had some coka cola that day! I jumped online and learned that cola had about half the amount of caffeine of a regular cup-a-joe. I mean I always knew it had caffeine, but it never affected me much when I was drinking two cups of coffee a day. But now it kept me up!

Cola was one of my few remaining guilty pleasures. but alas, I think it has to go. Because remaining caffeine free is too important to me. And I mean, it took me an hour longer than usual to fall asleep!
