NEVER drink Iced tea at night! I drank iced tea at suppertime and I couldn't fall asleep till 3:30 am. But, I did get something done at least. I nearly completed another quilt - all from scraps. I don't know if it was the caffeine in the tea, or my excitement, but I didn't get much sleep at all last night! Do you ever do this crazy thing?

Yes! But I don't need caffeine! I just stay awake...I have old brain toddling along without melatonin!!!

Actually, it might even have been the combo as your mind was probably unsettled. I don't drink coffee or tea, but I do drink sodas. When my hubby drinks tea before bed it puts him right to sleep.

I guess I am blessed. I love a good hot cup of coffee late at night. It helps me sleep. LOL Got it from my sweet angel Granny. She loved coffee.

YES--- TILL I LEARNED HOW TO MAKE MY OWN ICE TEA FROM DEFAFF TEA....IN A LARG LARG (LIKE RESTURANT) JAR I PUT 10 TEA BAGES YOU CAN USE DIFRENT HERBAL DECAFF FLAVORS..THEN FILL THE JAR WITH COLD WAATER BUT IT IN THE SUNN OR SUNNEY WINDOW FOR THE DAY.STRAINE THE TEA BAGES OUT..USE AS MUCH SEWWTNER OR SUGAR TO TASTE I LIKE THIS MEATHOD...LUCY

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA USING DECAFF TEA! Thanks, Lucy!

I agree. I too can not drink caffeine after 3:00 p.m. I usually go for decaff if I want coffee or tea. Hugs, mary

That is not nice. I always have a cup of tea before going to bed - does not keep me awake. LOL. Hugs Sarah.

Must be the caffeine free one.

I also have the 2pm rule.. I love coffee and iced tea but only before 2pm.

Yes I know all to well....Suzanne

Oh yes - many of late nights, but my sewing room is too close to the bedroom, so I can not get the stitching done I want to do. LOL

We run a fan in our bedroom, so my husband doesn't wake up to the sound of the sewing machine anymore! It's a great white noise - LOL

I did some embroidery at my sis house a few weeks ago and my b.i.l slept the whole time. Said he didn't know what was wrong with him. As soon as we were done, he woke up. LOL

I am addict in coffee... I almost do not sleep.

I know what you mean, only my addition is diet pepsi. I sleep much better when I drink water - LOL

My friends always tell me itis in my mind, but I can not drink anything that contains caffeine after noontime, coke and any type of tea, the only tea I drink at night are caffeine free.

Me neither! After lunch, I am caffeine free. Just one glass of tea, and I am up all night!

Sadly, yes. Try to avoid tea, coffee and diet drinks at night, but have made a mistake on some occasions and pay the price of a sleepless night.

Yes I do it at least once a week, can't sleep, gotta get it done! For me it is best if I just stay up til the next night, however driving is out of the question! be careful with your sleep! Live Laugh Download Stitch!

Yep it was the caffeine. People in Alabama drink more iced tea than water - I learned to get the decaffeinated. I saved the other for over dying fabrics. It works like a charm

Uhhm, I would like to sample that tea!! Sure could do with an extra spurt of energy right now. LOL

Oh Yes! I spent many late nights working on the Uganda quilt but I wanted to make sure I had it done in time and I got a late start joining in. You're so lucky you get to see all the beautiful quilts. You ought to make an album so we can see them all too. ( In your spare time of course!lol)
