Hi,
It’s just milk chocolate I don’t like ....anything dark chocolate flavored or bars are my favorite. I only drink decaf green tea....hot....for lunch. No coffee or tea generally after that. Caffeine would keep me awake at night although chocolate has its fair amount. It’s usually unsweetened ice tea at a restaurant...unless of course it’s dinner, then it’s wine naturally. There are just times when I just like hot tea with lunch...depends on what lunch is that day....and it has to be green tea. I do like herbal ice teas.

Brewed coffee has about 95 mg of caffeine vs 45 mg in dark teas in an 8 oz serving. Mayo Clinic has a great chart comparing various drinks. I have found that honey acidity varies with type and source and that may affect sleep. I have tried contacting the source of the honey I use but they are not knowledgeable and I was going to use my aquarium pH strips to check.
FYI an ounce of dark chocolate (70+%) contains about 25 mg of caffeine as well
@fiesty76 Ice tea? Blah! We always get hot tea when ordering tea at Canadian restaurants.
Like you, I can't sleep after drinking coffee or tea at night, but decaf of either is ok. I know, I know - decaf is not good for us. Actually, I only drink decaf tea now, lunch and dinner. Old age sucks. Lol
