Told you! I have more, not counting my assigned reading literatures/articles and e-textbooks.
Actually I find QVC a wonderful melatonin when my wife starts watching it. I am thrilled with anything over 5 hours of sleep which doesn't happen very often.

Who the hell is giving you homework in your fifties!?!

L! It's self-inflicted, I decided to go back to school (https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/oh-boy-im-back-to-school.187833/)
My youngest daughter got herself a Masters in Civil Engineering. I thought that was a lot of work...then she decided that maybe that ain't her cup of tea after all. She decided to go back to school and become an M.D. instead. Got accepted into med school, and now has her first year of that behind her. And what a ton of work all that is. Good thing you have low sleep requirements, Feenix!!
Doctorate degree, thanks!
Good on your daughter. Low sleep requirement definitely helps.
I feel your pain. My wife has a BSN and is a charge nurse here, she teaches for a nursing college part time and is in school for her masters in nursing education (grad in Oct). I am pretty much single !!

Look on the bright side, if you shoot long enough you'll eventually get to the point that coffee doesn't make you shake any worse than you already do without it.
I love coffee but try my best to avoid it, particularly when shooting.

I haven't seen anyone mention Eye Jitter. Coffee and tobacco I have noticed definitely affect blood flow and muscle/blood flow movement and is visible in the reticle. Effect reduced/minimized something like 1-2 hours after having it.
But the bigger one is eye jitter for me. The day I really noticed it, I was shooting 0.25-0.3 moa consistently, quite pleased with myself... Spaced out what I was doing and threw a cope in while i was waiting for cool down. Best groups after were 0.5moa. That dang crosshair keeps jumping around. Seems to be increased blood flow in the eyes for me and eye muscles get twitchy.

I miss dipping. Nothing like the sweet burn when horseshoeing some cope lc and my cheekweld compressing the dip on my gums.

At 400yds it can easily be the difference in a center mass hit or a complete miss not only due to the rise/fall of the rifle due to your heartbeat but due to the shaking that is caused by the other neurological effects of caffeine.
