I am reading in Overdrive Magazine that a study in Australia
shows a significant connection between caffeine and alertness.
I am prepared to accept that. In fact the article uses
important sounding words that make it sound so much more scientific than I ever
dreamed. The article describes the miracle of caffeine with:
“caffeine is a ‘psycho stimulant’ that suppresses the
innate adenosine mediated drive to
sleep.’”
That is a mouthful and maybe a really verbose way of saying
coffee keeps you up or like my wife puts it ‘coffee keeps you moving.’
But who cares!
We officially can enjoy coffee. It is one of the few guilt
free pleasures that is not linked to heart disease, hypertension,
infection, psychosis, nightsweats, cotton mouth, allergic reaction,…etc. We now
do not have to walk into the truck stop with that uncomfortable sense of
knowing that some doctor said that coffee is bad for us. Even better we have
official jargon to back up the right to drink coffee on the road.
In fact it is something healthy. We are not guzzling coffee
while hauling cars all night. We are operating our Cottrell’s with a legal
‘psycho stimulant.” (wow that sounds good). We are rolling down the highway
with a health beverage that fights our innate nature to go into adenosine
cerebral arrest which is a fancy phrase I just made up meaning your tired. I
would imagine every trucker or carhauler understands the value of a caffeinated
pyscho-stimulant on an extended roadtrip.
On a side note, the article also mentions that there is a
condition where you are exhausted all the time. It has a fancy medical term too
but I just call it being a parent.
So pull into that truck stop and find that coffee stand…It
is now “official”... it might help you stay awake!
