Under anesthesia, where do our minds go?

I used to be the same way — do you drink caffeine after 4PM? I was convinced I was a night owl and my most productive hours were 10PM until 2AM. That was until, at suggestion of my partner, I stopped drinking caffeine in the late afternoon and evening. As long as I do that I have no problem getting to sleep consistently and easily.

May not be the case for you but for my entire 20s I simply didn’t realize how much caffeine was actually impacting me.

Same. I don't drink caffeine after noon and I have a much easier time maintaining a functional sleep schedule.

I had a older relative who often complained about poor sleep. I asked if they drank caffeine in the afternoon and they scoffed at the idea it could be the issue. But I have noticed they are not drinking caffeine late in the day now, and the complaining about poor sleep has ceased.

I’ve been a night owl since I was a small child. My dad is also one. No caffeine after 2pm.
