I sleep in from 10am-12pm because im currently not in school... Nov. of 06 my brother came out with Lymph Node Cancer, and it was just a shock to all of us that I decided to take a yr off school. I was ganna go back this yr but we started having problems with the enrolling and stuff ((my previous school shut down a couple months before)) so my mom just said forget it, your quiting now and you can get your GED when you turn 17.

I actually dont drink a lot of Pepsi... its Usually a 2Liter split between 4 people in our house. I usually have a cup during the day ((if available)) and a cup before bed.

Im not use to waking up at 9.... especially when my day really doesnt start till after 10am.

I wouldn't be surprised if you had a nice big slice of chocolate cake before going to be if you experience the same sleep you get with Pepsi.

this is exactly what I was going to say.
alcohol will do this to me if I drink it with soda (like whiskey and coke). I'm very sensitive to it and can't have too much or I will wake up in the middle of the night crashing from the sugar in the whiskey and the coke. If I get up and eat something sweet or drink some soda I drift right back off to dreamland.
