  Ahh man, giving up caffeine is going to be brutal

    It’s easier if you cut back first so your body gets used to having less of it. I started by only having any before 12pm, then 10am, then I cut out energy drinks entirely, then I’d do part decaf coffee until I finally went full decaf. I definitely noticed some headaches and felt kind of shit occasionally but I don’t remember it being too terrible.

      Never tried decaf but I’ll give it a go. Love me some black coffee.

    but gaining sleep is quite worth it.

    also consider a hot bath/spa.

    its all about relaxing your thoughts and your muscles. stop trying to figure things out and let go.

    im surprised i havent seen more mention of deep breathing. if you can relax all your muscles and then drop your breathing down to 8 seconds a breathe, you should drift off to sleep within a few minutes.

      I’ve of taking some meditation classes or something. The stress has taken its toll on my health and I don’t know how much more my body can take.

        you have to figure out if the stress source is worth it to you. maybe you can change your work situation or expectations. maybe its a combination of 10 things and you can control 3 of them.

    You don’t need to give it up completely, but definitely don’t have any after 3 pm.

    Decaf soda is also good. A little harder to find but it won’t beat up your stomach like caffeinated soda.

      I jumped off the soda train long ago. I just drink way too much coffee, it’s going to be tough to give that one up

        Maybe go half-caff for awhile?
