So they have a cup of coffee and they get tired and then another cup coffee, and caffeine is really dehydrating. It's a diuretic. Even though it may stimulate you for the moment, actually the withdrawal from caffeine can make you feel more tired. And then you're not giving the liquid, even though its a liquid it drains water from your body. You need to make sure that you are getting lots of water.

Nighttime Wakeups and Stress 2:06
If you aren't drinking wine, or some alcohol to relax you in nighttime, then sometimes that will wake you up at three or four in the morning. And then if you have some adrenal dysfunction and lots of stress, sometimes, that's going to wake up early, like four AM, five AM. Something like that is your brain thinks it's time to get up and be chased by the tiger. Or if your just ready to go to sleep, you're tired and wired is what we call it. So you are exhausted all day long, but then you can't lay down at night and actually fall asleep.
