Does too much sugar stop you sleeping? - GoFuckYourself.com

When I'm working late at night I like to drink some Pepsi or Irn bru. When going to bed I noticed that I am restless and it takes me while to get to sleep plus I keep waking during the night.

Is it coz I got too much sugar in my system or something else maybe?

Pepsi has caffeine in it.. Not sure about Irn Bru though, but pepsi does have it, and that's what's keeping you awake

Drink Dr. Pepper and throw a few shots of NyQuil in it! You won't have thos prob again.

Sugar and caffeine

I agree with Head, sugar and caffeine, plus not being able to shut your mind off from your contributes to insomnia, plus, the hours you keep could make a difference, try to go to sleep at night, which is unusual for some webmasters I know.

Get some decaf pop. I think Pepsi started making some. Others are too like Fresca. Don't go straight to bed either. Sit down a little with TV or a magazine and just wind down. A lot of self employed people get like that. You don't shut off work like you do when you leave an office and drive home.
