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.
Yes, exercise, and do whatever you can to go to bed at a reaasonable hour at the same time every night, at least for a while. It's a pain, and can cramp your style for a little while, but you basically need to reteach your body how to sleep. If you're still having a lot of troubles with fatigue after a couple of months, talk to your doctor. Also, you may find you'll benefit more from going cold turkey.
I've been through caffeine withdrawal, and it's a pain, but it's vastly improved my life overall.
I have no problems sleeping and didn't even before I decided to cut back on caffeine. I was sleeping about 8 hours a night before cutting back and I am now sleeping about 9 or so. I think it is just a matter of getting used to the way my head feels without the aid of caffeine.
I can't go cold turkey since the whole reason I am doing this is because I rarely drink caffeine on the weekends and I think the caffeine withdrawal is one of my migraine triggers. Even just waiting until noon to have caffeine today brought one on.
