11 sats \ 1 reply \ @nichro 20 Sep \ on: What's you relationship with caffeine like? alter_native
Used to drink 4-6 cups.
Reduced to 2 a day, with the last one before 4pm. Been like this for years. Vastly improved jitters and anxiety as well as sleep.
I still drink decaf after the two. An attempt to fool my brain with the taste to be more productive without the real caffeine.
On some special occasions where I need to go ultra instinct I do make an exception and go for 3+ like the good ol days.
Every once in a while I do a month where I take 0 anything (coffee, alcohol etc.). We used to call those tolerance breaks but really, I think it's important to be aware of the substances we use and their effects. No better way than abstaining for a while and paying attention.
Yeah. If I drink it after 4 or so, might be super restless trying to sleep.
