@adriano I am dependent on caffeine most of the time because I am unmedicated for my ADHD! I assume a lot of the other people are just chronically sleep deprived and trying to run on fumes in the horror of society today, adding a wisp or two more of the fumes with coffee... I tend to have chronic insomnia, but now that I don't need to wake up at a set time, I *could* be functional without caffeine. I'd be more scattered, but I've done it before. When I had to wake up for school/work, I had to have immense amounts of tea or coffee to exist around people and needed it to focus.
Please fucking let people sleep, sleep deprivation is horrible for everybody and results in so many accidents, dips in health and mistakes and crabbiness in general!
@sinituulia Agreed, and I apologize for speaking without considering those situations.
Even then, you recognize (as you did in the OP) that there are ways to do this that don't involve risking people's lives by driving half-asleep.
