Although frequent consumers feel alerted by caffeine, especially by their morning tea, coffee, or other caffeine-containing drink, evidence suggests that this is actually merely the reversal of the fatiguing effects of acute caffeine withdrawal," wrote the scientists, led by Peter Rogers of Bristol's department of experimental psychology.

    Gawd - so sleep is merely a reversal of the effects of lack of sleep ..... and he got a Psychology degree for that line of thought? May the lord have mercy on our wallets.

    Either the world is slowly but surely going stark raving mad, or I'm getting too old - probably both :)

      This article reminded me of why I never drink just one cup of coffee. I'm not sure I'm convinced on the part about being predisposed toward anxiety though.

        No coffee is like sleep is my motto :-)

          I like that motto, henry.

          If caffeine came in IV form I'd be a test subject.

          Decaf is against my personal standards.
