how would half a coffee affect you?
An actual half caf? Would be fine. I’d still fall asleep by 10 or 11. But alas, there is no such thing as decaf in this country, and I’m not sure if smaller amounts of coffee would work.

Can you either nap or have tea instead for a weaker stimulant?
Napping, no. The 7yo is home from school, so napping is a no-go. Tea doesn’t do much for me in terms of keeping me awake after 3pm (I have learned this the hard way. But it is useful for being able to drink it in the evenings and knowing it won’t keep me awake too long.)
Nope. I is screwed. I accept my fate and resolve to not be an idiot next time. Unless I have a surge of wakefulness after the kids go to bed, which has been known to happen. (It’s more likely I’ll fall asleep in the rocking chair as I put down the 2yo.)
