Chai tea gives you wings

Note to self: Never accept an offer to an unknown caffeinated beverage after 7pm at night unless you’re planning to party late into tomorrow’s night.

Zero caffeine immunity, tendency to sleep late and 8 hours of sweet sleep the night before is a disaster when combined with a tea in the late afternoon and chai tea after 7pm.

Yesterday night found me tossing and turning in bed, clocking barely 3 hours of light sleep and waking up with unfamilar alertness. Clueless as to what caused the insomnia, I added an unnecessary canned coffee in the morning and it kept me wide awake way into the afternoon.

A little googling taught me that Chai tea is made with black tea, the tea with the highest caffeine level that should technically still contain less caffeine than a cup of coffee. I must have been drinking the wrong coffee all my life.

In any case, I’ve found my beverage of choice for those weeks of deadlines.
