No Tea-Drinking at Night
-
How it feels to get high? While I was doin semester exams (I had 4 in a row) so I kept drinkin energy drinks like V and Lift (Contains caffeine and gurana) for bout 3 days continously..about 4-6bottles a day.... (recommended max 2 bottle a day on bottle's label...which i ddnt realise until 3rd day)...but i dun think it helps..makes me feel sleepy and got tis out-of-body experience....n nose bleedin 3 rd day..haha...Originally posted by Rhonda:When I was sitting for my 'O' levels and was 'pai si' and didn't do my revisions till the 11th hour, I got desperate and threw in three tablespoons of Nescafe for a thick cuppa poisonous brew that kept me awake with jittery hands the whole night long!
Its effects were especially strong on me cause I'm no coffee-drinker so wah, that night, I really got to experience the drug-like 'high' of coffee!
sum of my friends recommend me put few spoons of nescafe into coke n mix it....they claimed it helps..also if u smoke cannabis/weed/marijuana ...u can study full power 3 days...but side effects is u may see stars or things floatin around..of cos i never tried

I always drink Chinese Tea at night.Originally posted by Rhonda:I've heard friends and colleagues mention that one shouldn't drink Chinese tea or Green Tea late at night because it's apparently too 'cooling' for our system.
Have you heard of such a thing? I'm just wondering how true that could be.
I think maybe it is true
Because if I don't do so, my late nights and lack of rest plus water usually means that it is easy for me to get sore throats.
But it goes away coz I drink chinese tea every night -

Green Tea:
Green tea is a source of powerful antioxidants and also the calming amino acid L-theanine. There are loads of websites shouting the benefits of green tea, however it does contain a small amount of caffeine and also tannin which is carcinogenic and can prevent iron and protein absorption. Avoid consuming tannin with meals so you can absorb the nutrients effectively. I have found the caffeine in green tea useful for increasing my concentration and overcoming fatigue at work. 3-6 cups a day for 100mg dosage of L-theanine although this would mean a significant caffeine intake too which could affect your sleep.
Buy in most supermarkets.
Tips: A slice of lemon can overcome decrease tanninÂ’s effect on iron absorption. Flavoured green tea (mint or lemon) is nicer I find as green tea itself is quite bitter. To decaffeinate you can steep the teabag for 30 seconds and then throw away the water and use fresh water. 80% of the caffeine is removed this way but the antioxidants are not.Originally posted by Rhonda:Tell us more should you come across that article again, okie? -
