I use Head and Shoulders too. It makes my hair produce enough static electricity to power a small village, but it's the only greasy hair shampoo that seems to work.

You don't use L'oreal, but sure, you're worth it too. To prove it, here's you Purple coins back.
(I actually only didn't put them back cos I thought we'd forgotten to change them after a month. January is going slowly. :oops: Though it worked out well for your punning misdemeanor in the end. :P )

Did you have a particularly active mind before sleeping, or doing something mentally stimulating?

I usually always cannot go into deep sleep. Instead I'm just in rest mode while my mind cannot shut up (like usual). Partly blame it on me being on my electronics very soon before I go to sleep.

Also, I cannot drink anything close to my bed time otherwise I will be "up" for bit taking [&@%!]. Even if it's a drop of water.

Insomnia is bad, obviously. But even if you can't sleep, just lying in bed with your eyes closed for half an hour makes you better rested. So at the very least, it is better than nothing.

I have that problem a lot lately. I've been working on a programming project that's been consuming much of my mental CPU of late. I'll start programming at about 10 in the morning and look at the clock to realize 16 hours have passed. Then when I go to bed I can't sleep because my subconscious is still trying to solve some problem that I left unfinished. It's annoying, but I also haven't really been this focused on task for a long time, so I'm just letting it roll.

Nope. There is a possible cause for it and really bloody annoying if it is the case, I suspect the Tetley superfruits reducing fatigue and tiredness is causing it. :( Ruddy miffed if that is the case. I do read for a bit before sleeping but that has never caused me issues.

Or there's a massive conspiracy within my body to make my plans to go back to a normal routine(i.e. waking up at 9am every weekday apart from fridays) impossible. If so, I may have to beat up my own body.

Are you drinking the tea soon before going to bed?
If you had it more than three hours prior than I'd imagine you'd be ok.

No way. Herbal tea is where it's at, though I'd put black above green regardless.

I can only agree with you half way Mars. Can you guess which half? *spoiler alert* It's not the half that's obviously wrong

Black tea is obviously the best.

Though I guess it kind of depends. If you're having tea with lunch/dinner, then green tea is the way to go. If you're having tea on its own, or with breakfast/snack/afternoon tea, black tea is best.

Have you ever had green tea with hints of lotus and lemongrass?

What herbal teas do you enjoy, Mars?

Also, I have a sugar question for you, Mars.
Apart from the coconut sugar you mentioned, what are some other 'good for you' natural sweeteners?

Concentrated agave syrup is a pretty good sweetener, but it doesn't come in crystalline form. I don't use it myself, but friends swear on it.

I like all sorts of herbal teas, but I'm particularly partial to Cretan herb blends. It's like drinking a hot cup of home.
