The best coffee substitute I've found is coffee-flavored Postum. It's the one in the red jar. Available from their website or Wal-Mart. I also tried Cafix, but prefer Postum.

I first read about magnesium supplements in a random Hacker News comment a year ago. Taking them cured my insomnia. If anyone thinks they might benefit from Mg, I definitely encourage you to do the research.

Ewan went 99% of the way in making the app. If the only thing holding him back is getting the screenshots right, I'd say he's "so close". I'd wager that most of Microsoft's app approval team is away the week between Christmas and New Years
