My friend the fiend caffeine

Spread out caffeine jolts to stay alert

...a new study suggests that it may be better to stretch out the daily dose by drinking smaller amounts throughout the day.
... sleep-deprived people who took low-dose caffeine tablets did better on cognitive tests than those who took a placebo.
...those who took caffeine also reported feeling sleepier, which suggests the enhanced wakefulness of caffeine does not replace the restorative benefits of sleep...
Hmmm.. to drink or not to drink?
