rone: (thanks)

It's nearly my six-month anniversary at Netflix, which means that i've been working graveyard shift for 21 weeks.  Despite a few hiccups along the way, sleeping during the day hasn't been too bad; i've settled into taking a melatonin+valerian capsule and half a Benadryl before sleep (occasionally washed down with hot chocolate instead of water).  I usually hit the sack soon after i see Kim off to work in the morning, so that i can be awake by the time she gets home.  On Friday, i eschew the sleeping aids and just settle into a four-hour sleep period; when i wake up, i can attend one of our team meetings in the afternoon, and then proceed with having a normal weekend (although lately my sleep has been cut short at night, so i've been taking a full Benadryl on Friday nights).  On Sunday evenings, i have another 4-hour nap, and upon waking put out the trash and then head to work.

At times i feel a little uncomfortable about the pill-taking, but given that this isn't going to last forever, i'll keep it up for now.

From Bawls' page on guaraná:

The Guarana berry contains a naturally-occurring form of caffeine which is 2.5 times stronger than the caffeine found in coffee, tea, and soft drinks.

How is one form of caffeine 2.5 times stronger than another form of caffeine?
