At what point do I stop feeling sleepy all day after cutting back my caffeine use? The only time I am not tired is between 10 and 3 when I have my one 20oz bottle of pop.
It took me several weeks and some rigorous exercise. I'd quit caffeine before I left for the Himalayas because I wasn't sure how readily available caffeine would be. For about the first week of the trip, I was so refreshed and well-rested every morning. Then, I discovered the chai shops.
I am not even going cold turkey, I am just cutting back a lot for the next couple weeks and then I am going to give up even more. I just miss being able to wake up in the morning or stay up late.
Not that I can talk (I'm currently as addicted as ever), but cold turkey seems like the way to go in order to really be able to feel refreshed. As it is, I currently consume 0-2 caffeinated beverages a day and... well... not ever bright-eyed.
The reason I am cutting back is that I am worried that caffeine withdrawl is causing some of my headaches (the ones on the weekend) and so I don't want to go cold turkey because I don't need a migraine.
I drank way more that than a day. I cut it in half and am down to one 20oz bottle (and decaf coffee, which I know has caffeine in it but I like the taste).
