Thanks Pam34. I am one of those people!
It goes some way to explain it doesn’t it! I’ve not tried it, I really should. Got to be better than the dish of cereal that I usually munch.
It often works for me. I used to take a flask up to bed but now have a pack of caffeine tablets by my bed, a single one has about the same amount as a cup. Give it a go!
We clearly are all different in the way that we metabolise caffeine, I have a friend who has 2 caffeinated drinks in a morning, anything later and she won’t sleep. I can drink tea and coffee all day with no ill effects!
That’s a good idea. Thanks, I’ll try that. My nights at the moment are pretty good and the medication is keeping the legs under control, maybe because I’ve just retired so feel less anxious, less stressed, less tired and aren’t up at 5.45 every morning!
Retirement sounds a very good idea, enjoy it! I'd love to but I think it'll be a few more years yet...I do work part time though so it's not too bad! I do think that stress plays a part

I can drink tea or coffee all day AND night, with no bad effects on my RLS. I have a cup of coffee OR tea in the night when i am up pacing., which is every night.
I am one of those people who drink coffee in the night too. Interesting read on drinking coffee
I gave up coffee for good because years ago when I was working I was sat on a bank of desks where my colleagues at the time were drinking it every 5-10 mins.I joined in of course & next thing I knew I was poorly because my heart wa doing 200 bpm (thats how it felt anyway) & there was a couch in another room where we took our breaks & I had to lie don on it until my heart settled
