5 Foods That Sabotage Your Sleep

Did anyone realize that on the page on energy drinks taurine was referred to as an amino acid! It is a stimulant but for goodness sake get you bio-molecules straight!!! Taurine is NOT an amino acid.

Dahhh! everyone knows that ENERGY drinks keeps us awake but we have to give the author of this article props for acknowledging the fact that even though we drink energy drinks early in the day it affects us "later on" when we go to sleep.

I almost didn't see the messages about this article, but it's good to know others feel the same as I did when I read about how it's a good idea to not dring energy drinks if I want to go to sleep. They should have put over the counter drowsy medications in the article about thing that cause people to sleep. Though this would have made a very well written report in grades 4-5

At first I thought the part about energy drinks was a bit...obvious (they're called energy drinks so one should make the connection that you become energetic after drinking one).  Then I thought about some of the dumb stuff that I experience in a single day as a result of the average american: yesterday alone I was within a tenth of a second of being in a wreck with three separate drivers who were staring mindlessly at their phone while operating what is, in essence, a bomb on wheels; A middle aged customer came into my place of employ (a sub shop), and had to ask to make sure that a 12 inch sub is the same as a footlong (the answer is no, we measure inches in the southern European style whilst measuring feet in the obscure and oft missed system of the Gobi desert, just to be interesting); On the way out of the shop at the end of the night I witnessed a drunk man (there's a bar down the way) attempting to use his cell phone as a car clicker, failing, then smashing the cell into the ground declaring it useless and falling into a fit of rage when he tried to call his wife for a ride.  SOooo I can fairly well understand why "captain duh" felt the need to state the energy drink thing so plainly.  Props to the Captain, for trying to improve the life of Average Joe.
