I'd like to differ. Sometimes a cup of coffee before bed CAN calm you and put you to sleep, and the caffeine may or may not give you a heightened sense of awareness. It worked for me sometimes (when I put forth a concerted effort to LD every night), but honestly, hot tea works best.

Man I am so hooked on caffine. Not a night goes by that I am not still under its influance at bedtime. I have my share of lucid dreams, so caffine will not prevent them assuming you can sleep. Slightly disturbed sleep (like caffine may cause) seems to make me more likely to recall dreams. Sleep-aids from the drug store keep me from dreaming. So maybe you have something. Experiment away. I think it cant hurt at all.

See? I told you.
And plus, he's telling you to try other things.
"Experiment," as sivason says. You can sue him when you get addicted to something.
