 feeling tired from mugging? feel that you would not have enough time left to finish that last 2 chapters of control and organization of eukaryotic genome bio notes? Here's a solution to help you squeeeeeze out some time (from your sleep) # Step 1  Drink coffee. A VERY THICK cup of coffee. If you still do not feel hyped up, repeat step 1 until there is satisfactory results shown. Here's the effects: First Cup  Awake. 2nd Cup.   (wide awake) 3rd Cup  (very much awake. but something is wrong.....) 4th Cup  (your heart 爆掉......) (look out for these symptoms...... if you are experiencing these symptoms, quickly dial 995.....) *take note take the about symptoms for the 4th cup of coffee, may also apply to those who didn't complete their math paper. e.g. "心痛... Aiyoh, sayang...... More than 40 marks never do..... 四十分没有做。。。GG liao...." PS: Choon Leng and Yixin, the above statement do not apply to you both. you both should be saying something like, "sian, minus 1 points liao, cannot get 100 marks.... sad...." Safety advice: Well, you can try this at home, or at anywhere. Please dun attempt cup 4 anywhere, even if you are in hospital. Brewed coffee: 140-210mg/ 250ml Instant coffee: 85-110mg/250ml Brewed tea: 85-110mg/250ml Coca-Cola: 36mg/can pepsi-Cola: 22mg/can Milk chocolate: around 22mg/100g Moderate amounts of caffeine, i.e. 250-500mg per day, are thought to be harmless, but drinking more than 1000mg per day is well into the toxic range. If you are taking more than about 600-750mg a day of caffeine, you would probably feel better if you took less caffeine. However, since caffeinism can be considered a drug "addiction", stopping caffeine suddenly is not a good idea as withdrawal effects are likely. The best plan for someone who may be drinking too much caffeine is to gradually reduce this to a safer level, preferably over several weeks. You can reduce your intake in many ways e.g. - Use decaffeinated (or at least instant) coffee and/or tea sometimes - Avoid brewed coffee or strong tea - Mix decaffeinated coffee powder with ordinary coffee powder to make a lower-caffeine drink - Either drink smaller volumes of coffee or tea or make the drinks weaker - Drink caffeine drinks less often - Do not drink too many cola drinks e.g. Coca-Cola, Pepsi etc Symptoms of caffeine addiction: -feelings of anxiety and nervousness, -sleep disruption (especially difficult getting off to sleep), -restlessness, -irritability, -diuresis (passing lots of water/urine), -stomach complaints, -tremulousness, -palpitations and arrythmias (changed heart rate, especially faster beating). Withdrawal Symptoms -headaches (52%), -anxiety (10%), -rebound drowsiness, -fatigue -lethargy
