    You can actually try both. When my husband is exhausted from insomnia, he gets up in the middle of the night and makes a cup of coffee, and it somehow knocks him out enough to fall asleep.

      Highly doubt if you can get high quality sleep that way

      Insomnia sucks tho, I can’t sleep no matter how hard I try when I am stressed and it’s brutal, can’t imagine going thru that every single day

        Coffee is a stimulant and stimulants can absolutely cause drowsiness in people, usually those of us with ADHD.

        If I’m not tired I can drink a small espresso and the stimulation from the caffeine wakes my brain up enough to actually deliver the sleepy hormones (this is how my Dr described it to me, anyway)
