Ultimately, Morley is invited to sleep off the hours before daybreak at this man's apartment.

A caffeine novice can get a kick from as little as 20 mg of caffeine--the equivalent of 1.5 oz. of strong drip coffee. But the average coffee drinker may consume upwards of 300 mg a day, often with no discernible effect on mood.
