    Ah, caffeine. So addictive. So energizing. So unhealthy. It's no secret that coffee lends itself to spurts of early-morning productivity, only to be followed by mid-afternoon slumps. And yet, we're somehow always surprised when that 4PM frappuccino keeps us up past a reasonable hour. "Up Coffee," a new iPhone app from Jawbone, probably won't wean you off the good stuff, but it might take the surprise out of your next coffee coma. Here's how it works: you enter a few specifics, including your sex, weight and caffeine tolerance, and then it's your job to start logging. And let's be clear here: this isn't just a coffee-tracker, but a caffeine app, so in addition to all those coffees you consume throughout the day, you also should be logging any late-night Red Bulls.
