Too much caffeine // Too little sleep

When I have too much caffeine in my system, I end up in a state of semi-sleep for the entire night. If you hooked up nodes to my brain it would probably show that I am technically asleep, but I feel semi-conscious--enough that I am aware, and convinced that I am not sleeping. Does that make sense? That awareness then causes feelings of frustration and anxiety because I know the clock is ticking and soon I'm going to have to face the day on very little sleep.

Also, my left eyeball vibrates for a second, every few minutes. I presume the muscle is twitching but it feels like it's vibrating. Needless to say I try to stop drinking coffee by mid-morning and switch over to water and tea to avoid these effects.

My husband says the one time he drank caffeine to keep himself awake, he lost the ability to understand street signs on the drive home. He doesn't do it anymore, lol.
