In light of this I may try to keep it under two dozen cups a day.

They're what an Australian invites home on Friday evening to listen to his old Rolf Harris collection.

Cartoon I once saw: Two cats in coffee bar. One, looking very drowsy, says to friend "If I don't get my twenty-three and a half hours of sleep, I'm a total wreck all day!"

Its like any other drug/stimulant. When you get used to it it does not have the same effect.  I often have a coffee at bedtime - sleep like a log most nights

I switch to decaf in the early afternoon. One important rule - I no longer have the cup sitting on my painting table.
