Totally agree Claire, well said. I don't have sleep problems, but if I did, I wouldn't drink coffee. I go to bed with nic every night, get up with her in the morning. We both usually work or watch some tv together until 9 - 10pm, then bed.

I am a night owl, though coffee doesn't do it to me. Whether I drink it or not, I can stay up all night, every night if required, and live on a few hours sleep. I believe that is more the 10 years military that did that to me. But I drink coffee all day, no issues sleeping... feel great.

I must agree though, that if anyone drinks a lot of coffee and they have sleep problems, maybe you want to try giving it up and seeing whether sleep improves or not... take up another addictive trait that isn't too harmful to yourself... ie. not alcohol or drugs.
