| If tea contains caffeine & tea is stereotyped to be calming/relaxing & helps people sleep. Why is caffeine like coffee & soda stereotyped to be a stimulant that can make people jittery :? I think it has something to do with the amount of caffeine. Tea and good coffee (arabica) hardly ha... |

| I'm lacking energy like this all the time. Even if I have a full night's sleep, I only last about 4-6 hours before I'm 'out of it' and sleepy again. The only cause I can think of is the cocktail of medicines I'm on, but unfortunately as most are epilepsy seizure meds, there's nothing I can do about ... |

| Caffeine doesn't really affect me at all, one way or the other. My sleep has always been terrible, but I remember in school/uni, it was pretty normal for me to have a coffee and then fall asleep in class shortly after. For about the last 10 years now I've had 1-2 coffees a day. I've had the idea tha... |

| I'm a S&G fan, and when this cover randomly came up on youtube one day I was just shocked and didn't really know what to think. It is definitely a more modern, up-to-date take on it, and if it leads people to discover the song and S&G in general, then that's good. The song's message is more ... |

| Another vote for LED lights, especially as headlights on cars, I'm blinded for a few seconds after one passes me. All my screens are permanently on the lowest brightness, and I use blue-light apps on my phone and tablet which reduce it even further. Any liquid with 'bits' in it: Soup, fresh orange j... |

| Thanks for your help. I guess since I'm single I haven't really considered this issue important enough to bring up with my doctor. I'm very hesitant to muck around with the epilepsy meds as I don't want to start having seizures again, I would probably need to go back to the neurologist who initially... |

As the title suggests, I've been having bad erectile dysfunction for the past year or so. I have been able to masturbate to ejaculation,... |

| For the vast majority of stuff out there, yes I think so, things are worth what people will pay for them. I do some work as a 'stocktaker' (not a bad aspie job incidentally, you just count things) and a lot of the time I can't believe the amount of unnecessary rubbish that populates stores. I once c... |

| I started reading fanfiction about a year ago. I've found that there is some genuinely good stuff out there (stuff written by aspiring authors, or people who went on to become real authors, for example), the problem is it's a nightmare finding it amongst all the rubbish. I usually find it by google ... |

Keep in mind that without the prequels we have no idea who Anakin Skywalker, Ben Kenobi or Yoda really were in their prime. The Emperor is just a ... |

| I like all of them for different reasons and watch them all regularly. Here in Australia they're all on Netflix (including Discovery), so I often cherrypick episodes from all the various shows. If I absolutely had to choose one though, it would be TNG since it was what got me into Trek in the first ... |
