Only Caffeinated Tea for Me

A couple of weekends ago, D and I shared a decaf orange pekoe tea bag because it was getting close to bedtime and D was afraid of staying up all night. We had decaf tea the next night.

Guess what?

I could barely sleep a wink both those nights. On the third night, as I reached into our cupboard for another tea, my hand hanging precariously over the box of decaf tea, a thought dawned on my sleep-deprived brain. What if the decaf was keeping me awake at night?

As an experiment, I drank caffeinated tea -- just one dunk, even though it was a two-cup tea bag, but just one dunk for the sake of the experiment -- that night.

Guess what?

I could sleep again!
