Hi Chris--

Have you tried drinking green tea? It has some caffeine, but it's not the same jolt that coffee or even black tea has. It was just in the news that moderate and steady caffeine intake leads to better alertness than getting a lot at once, so you might find that sipping some green tea would do the trick.

Note that green tea will taste nasty if you steep it for more than 90 seconds. You can also get flavored green teas (Tazo has a real nice Green Ginger tea) if you're not thrilled by the taste of the straight stuff.
