That was the stuff. I was very busy as a teen. I was in a variety of school
things after school and I had a job. The job required me to quite often work
nights. I might get off of work at 4:00 a.m. and have to go to school right
after. I was seriously sleep deprived my senior year and coffee wasn't
enough to help. The caffeine pills did help but as I said... I built up a
tolerance to them and had to keep taking more and more.

I took the large dose following graduation. We went to a party at my
friend's beach house after that. I probably hadn't eaten well. I don't
recall eating dinner due to the time of the ceremony. The ferries in those
days did have food service but I doubt it was operating by the time we
boarded. I may have purchased something from a machine. Likely candy.

We did bring food to the party but that was so many years ago, I don't
remember what. So eating stuff that wasn't a real meal then taking all the
pills to stay up all night did not work for me. I remember sleeping all day
once I got home.
