Less Coffee, Better Sleep
4 hours ago
- Reduced coffee intake to one cup per day for a week, leading to significant improvements in sleep, mood, and energy.
- Previously drank 4–5 large cups daily, which masked underlying tiredness and disrupted natural sleep cycles.
- A day with no coffee caused extreme fatigue, headaches, and lethargy, highlighting the extent of caffeine dependence.
- After the initial withdrawal, a single morning cup resulted in solid 7–8 hours of sleep, waking refreshed with a clear head and stable mood.
- Realized the cycle: was drinking coffee because tired, and tired because of excessive coffee consumption.
