I'm glad to see you found your line limit. 11 am. That's early, but if that works, go for it. (I don't drink caffeinated beverages; I have an anxiety disorder, and caffeine makes that worse.)

As i aged I found it was even worse. Like you I started looking at it more, but not as extensively. I have found that eliminating caffeine after 11AM and turning down my beloved glass of wine, usually help.

It's so interesting to me to see such a range of reactions. Glad you found your "line" so that you can avoid insomnia. Karen D.
