Well said, I think I know just what you mean! It can even happen without caffeine - if you push yourself too far, it's like you go into a kind of overdrive and can't sleep even though you're way behind on sleep. A sort of zombie like state...
In fact I wish I could get to that right now because I am zonked!
There's supposed to be an intermediate state: dreaming awake. Coffee is belived to have been used first by dervishes of Soutern Arabia, to keep them awake in their all-nigth rituals. When I can't sleep due to too much coffee, I feel like a dervish - a poor man on his way to freedom, but that's about all there is to my dervishhood!:)
