Will one diet soda be ok to drink a day?

I absolutely love diet Coke, but I've given it up recently, for about six weeks now. I notice that my cravings for carbs have lessened, and I'm not as bloated. I believe that I'm sleeping better too. However, I do have a cup of coffee every morning.

I cut out my sodas 3 1/2 months ago, I quit cold turkey. Reason for this, I was experiencing leg pain, & I read articles online that caffeine & artificial sugar in diet sodas was the cause of this kind of pain I was having. So I cut out diet sodas & switched my coffee to decafinated coffee. Since then, even tho I did alright not missing my diet sodas, I have noticed that not having any caffeine each day was causing me to get very lazy & sleepy in the afternoons each day. I drive a school bus & I was getting so sleepy on the bus in the afternoons, I was just really tired & sluggish & sleepy and could not function. I was missing children's stops & stuff on the bus, it was very scary how sleepy I was getting on the bus.
I decided I had to do something about it, before I fell asleep at the wheel of the bus, so I decided that I will have one diet soda a day & drink it just before I get on the bus in the afternoons. Today was the first time doing that, & I feel good, I felt awake & alert on the bus.
I am ok with the decaffeinated coffee, but I may need one diet soda a day to keep me away on the bus. Will that be ok?

If you're really that tired that you're putting children's lives at risk I think you need to see a doctor instead of worrying about the caffeine/chemicals from 1 diet soda.

this x 100

wtf do you think you're doing? if you're unfit to drive then you pull over, call in sick, tell them you feel too dizzy & ill to drive, wait for someone to come & take over, put up with the complaining from the kids about being late and DON'T RISK THEIR LIVES AND EVERY OTHER ROAD USER'S LIFE BY DRIVING AROUND WHEN YOU'RE NOT FIT TO!

you disgust me. seriously.
