Hey, Buster Brown, forgive me for getting into this late, but here goes:
Did you read recently that sleep deprivation is linked to all sorts of bad things, including diabetes and heart problems? Also, as another who gets an upset stomach from coffee, try switching to a good decaf after the first cup. There's still enough caffeine in it to keep you awake, but it won't bother your stomach so much.
For your body in general, I recommend Chamomile tea. I'm the least nuts&granola type you'll ever find, but it really does help soothe me and help me relax and sleep. It's also great for sore throats, so it's likely to help you, too. My homemade remedy for everything, though, is this: boiling water, lemon juice, honey, nutmeg and a shot of brandy. The hot water relaxes muscles and loosens congestion. The lemon cuts through the congestion. The honey helps draw the congestion and acts as a mild anti-microbial. The nutmeg helps respiration. The brandy helps relax muscles so that all this can work.
Either that, or it tastes good and puts me to sleep!
If the Centrum doesn't help, Costco has a nice energy mix, which I take daily. Talk to your orthopedist about Chondroitin and Glucosamine sulfates. They're the newest thing for humans, Pain Free being one brand. Of course, they've been used for years and years for horses and dogs. I tell you, the horses benefit a huge amount.
Feel better, Buddy, and here's a smile for you.
