I have a small problem everytime i have an indian takeaway or meal i have a problem where i can`t get to sleep untill 3-4am after is there something in them that could keep me awake?
Unless the local indian takeaway hates me and is spiking my food with something i have know idea what it its.

I don't like to have them too late as they keep me awake too. Guessing they are just difficult to digest? I usually have tea at 5:30 so thats not a problem, i'm guessing you have yours much later then?

Nope, Coke Zero is low sugar not low caffeine. Roughly the same amount of caffeine as in normal Coke.

Has the opposite effect on me, makes me sleepy. Depends what you have from the menu I guess, I always have chicken malaya. Im too scared to try something new, the thought of wasting £10 on something I dont like scares me

Basically I'm indian, so it's not about what you eat, but a) how much and b) dont drink coke/beer with your curries.....always water

perhaps you will sleep better now. Or maybe its because I've been bought up on indian food :rolleyes:

Not true! Maybe the takeaways are......

I have the same problem with alcoholic drinks. I know they're supposed to be a depressant, and people who get hammered fall asleep - but a few pints seems to send my brain into overdrive and prevents me from shutting down.

Well its a trade-off isn't it. You either have proper spices and bad meat or decent meat and e numbers.

Either way it looks like runny poo

How odd, a curry sends me right to sleep.
