I want to quit caffeine. Maybe I can have more stable energy and also sleep better. I sleep about 12 hours so when I have coffee when I wake up, there will still be caffeine in my system when going to bed.
But there’s a problem.
If I say I want to quit caffeine today, there’s a high chance that I will wake up tomorrow and say “fack it, I need my caffeine, I don’t want to quit”.
Can anyone help me get past this?
I think you need some willpower to get over withdrawals. After a couple of days you’ll be fine.
How much coffee do you drink?
I brew 0.5L coffee every morning, and I also have a coke which has caffeine.
I think you can limit yourself to only 1 coffe in the morning (skip the coke). I have it more difficult (not that I want to quit anyways) because I drink regularly until 3:00 pm or so.
Since I drink nescafe, I would gradually put less and less powder…
I will quit all caffeine tomorrow, and I want you guys to hold me accountable. I will check in here tomorrow morning.
If you like enjoying a cup in the morning you could try decaf. Decaf powder coffee is sold in regular supermarkets in Norway. It tastes pretty much like ordinary coffee.
Talking about decaf… @Mr_Hope . I once spend like 2 months buying the wrong (decaf) type of coffee so I unoficially quit.
Yeah I actually have some decaf coffee laying around. But I think I’m not even gonna drink that, since it has small amounts of caffeine in it, I want to quit it 100%.
Yes. There might be some traces left after the decaf process, probably something in the range of 1-5% compared to regular coffee.
I quit caffeine for about 8 months. I found more benefits to having caffeine than going caffeine free. It doesnt affect my sleep though.
I think I have between 300 to 500mg caffeine per day.
So for me quitting caffeine didnt help my energy levels. I was calmer but I was lower in energy.
All those articles about “caffeine is making you tired yada yada” is for people with normal brains lol
I quit caffeine with the help of decaff.
How bout replacing coffee with hot chocolate or a new beverage.
What benefits(if any) did you notice after quitting caffeine?
Much less anxiety, better functioning.
