Coffee. It's the new sleep.

I've noticed a new trend; when people are tired they solve the problem with ungodly amount of caffeine. Back in the day (which was a wednesday, by the way) when people were tired they slept. Many places in Europe have a designated time after lunch when people take naps. and that's not just for kindergardeners, high schoolers and even college students get an extended lunch period to go home and nap. Here in America we do not nap because that's lazy, we take five hour energy shots, drink starbucks and caribou, take caffeine pills and then we wonder why we can't sleep at night. Here's a idea, if you don't drink the double-shot-half-caf-no-whip-venti-caramel-twist-lattes at 9 o'clock at night you might not need the ambien to sleep. When did the revolution begin? maybe when starbucks became a part of common vocabulary? or when new york stopped being the only city that doesn't sleep? or maybe when cute coffee mugs become a fashion trend? Lets all stop being trendy and take a trip to italy where we all take naps after eating an immense amount of carbs. I'll book the plane tickets, but only after a stop at starbucks.. I'm tired.
