    Yeh totally works, I mean, I’m sitting at my desk at work shaking and I can hardly read the screen as random words go variously in and out of focus and despite being hair trigger alert I’m also exhausted and the verge falling face down unconscious on my keyboard and I have to read every email 10 times over before actually understanding it and then somehow still respond in a way that doesn’t quite make total sense. But technically, I’m awake and I’m physically here and nobody can say otherwise.

      Maybe on day 1. On day 100 you are simply immune to coffee and need to stop drinking coffee for 2 weeks to have any effect again.

      Mate tea can also be am extra , when one is already mostly caffeine immune. Don’t know why, but it works (to a degree).

      Don’t ask me, how I know.

      Same. Worst thing is I could have just gone to sleep at any point, but had to play with my phone the entire night

      I tried that for years but I can’t fall asleep that early. I wish I could because I also love a good night’s sleep but it just won’t happen unless I’ve gone 2 nights with 4 or less hours per night and worked both days. Then I’ll sleep at 7pm right after dinner. There sadly is no in-between

          Thanks for the suggestion but I struggle with reading. I can’t keep my attention on it and I have to reread each sentence multiple times before I get what it says. Which is more frustrating than relaxing. But it is a bit weird as I can read articles and messages just fine.

    I stared at this way too long wondering what a Cheesy Poof on the sidewalk had to do with coffee.

    In my defense, I’m scrolling before going to sleep and my morning coffee has long since worn off.

    I’ve quit drinking coffee two weeks ago. I felt really numb for 8 days, and then I started to just feel normal again. Before I drank way too much coffee. Now I don’t know what to do, if I want to drink a little bit of tea every day or if I want to use caffeine just on an occasional basis trying to avoid any dependency. For now I’ll stick to 0 caffeine for a little longer and see how I feel. But I’d be curious to know other peoples experiences or advice.
