I was doing a large Dunkins or what ever Iced Coffee ever morning for the last few years.
It helped out big time for programming as it was like a jolt of speed every morning.
But I found my cycle just getting thrown to hell.
Sleep was hard to come, I was starting to get nervous for no real reason, and I was always on edge.
I decided to give up all caffeine for a week and see how things panned out.
I started on Saturday so I could have the weekend to be grumpy (and I was).
My body snapped back by getting extra sleep on Sunday and Monday. I was just slow moving for a few days but it has been 5 days now my cycle of sleep is feeling more normal now and the cravings have diminished. I don't like to be dependent upon a substance to function normally.
Has anyone else experienced this with Caffeine? Has anyone ever given it up?
