I have this resistence to caffeine.  I can have a double espresso and fall asleep 20 minutes later.  Or at least that's what I used to think.

At dinner, Alex and I get beer and some green tea.  The green tea was excellent.  It didn't have overpowering flavour to it.  And it wasn't decafinated.  Or at least we don't think it was.  The teas were only written in Chinese so we ordered by price.

We think the rough translation of the tea name is:  Super Big Strong Caffeine Green Tea.

I couldn't sleep at all.  I tossed and turned all night.  As each hour went by I would get up try to refocus, relax and fall asleep.  No go.  This was quite annoying because when I landed I was ready to go to bed.  I was tired.  And then this.

When my alarm went off.  I was exhausted.

I think the reason you could not sleep is that you were suffering G&T withdrawals.

Re: withdrawals
Could be. I still haven't had a G&T here. They don't seem to have any Sapphire, only Beefeater. Yuck!
