Isn't Mountain Dew suppose to keep me more awake? I know sodas in general are suppose to do that, but the Dew is most known for it. Lately however, it actually relaxes me more and makes me want to go to sleep. It kinda now defeats the purpose of me bringing it to my graveyard shifts.

is it? i never knew that. i'm also assuming that you're drinking it cold. maybe you're just more tired now?
I was watching this show, it said that you only benefit from caffine if you don't drink it very often. If you are a regular drinker then you actually need caffine just get to a normal level of alertness, without caffine your alertness becomes below average. To benefit from the effects of caffine you'd have to go through the whole withdraw phase and then start drinking it again. I don't remember the length of the period though. Maybe you're just suffering from withdraw and drinking mt dew is just giving you the regular dose of caffine to which you are addicted to. So "doing the dew" might be easing your withdraw symptoms hence giving you the feeling of relaxation after you drink it. Yes TV rots my brains...
