A couple of times I've suspected caffeine may have kept me from sleeping. 
But usually I can have a coke or a mug of tea just before bed as part of
the process of winding down and getting ready to stop doing stuff.  I
don't drink much caffeine -- couple of cokes and maybe some tea in a
typical day.  Nothing happens if I miss a few days (no headaches or
anything), and I drop to sleep very quickly nearly all the time.

I find I get an energy peak just about when I should be going to bed most
days.  I think a 28 or so hour day might work very well for me.
