Yeah, I don’t know anyone who takes sleep aids every night. I take them when I want to knock myself out and have a day off the next day, but otherwise no one I know even seems to be aware of Zquil/etc

I went through a brief period in college when I was taking a full load and working 30 hours a week. I needed to carefully plan my sleep schedule. I was taking sleeping pills to go to sleep right away and caffeine pills to get going, with coffee/soda throughout the day. Was it healthy? Absolutely not.

On the plus side, I developed a new drink at the cafe I was working at, The Opener; for those 5am shifts.

  • walk by coffee pots, start all of the machines.
  • walk to espresso machine, pull an espresso shot into a regular coffee mug.
  • set down all of my 'stuff'
  • at this point espresso has finished
  • take espresso mug back to coffee makers. At this point they are hot and flowing. Replace coffee pot with my mug.
  • Once mug is topped off with coffee, replace coffee pot.
  • Sip drink while turning on the lights and computers
