For all you caffeine junkies

[Solly]

A couple of months ago I decided to give up normal coffee, and replace it with decaff. I had come to the conclusion that drinking up to 6 cups {actually mugs] of coffee a day was disrupting my sleep pattern. When I was younger, staying awake half the night was no problem, but now it is. I still drink tea, but only 3 or 4 cups a week. I will drink normal coffee if offered by friends, it is not often I am in that position.

The results?
Firstly, I notice that my coffee consumption has gone down, from 6 to 3 a day generally; sometimes I even forget to get a drink.
More importantly, I no longer get that urge to head straight for the kettle in the morning, and brew up for my first cup. I often don't even bother when I get to work either.
My sleep is better too, as i don't lie awake until about 2 am anymore.
IOW, I think I have kicked the habit. I just don't get that longing for a cuppa I used to have.

thats great Solly :thumb: I hardly ever have more than 1 cup a day I love the smell of fresh perculated coffee and occasionally I might actually have 2 or 3 cups but not if I am at home thats only if I go out or something.

my hubby had to cut down he was drinking like 6 cups in one sitting and then more during the day as well as tea... he had a incident one morning and he thought he was going to die... it was the caffeine had given him heart palpatations... he certainly cut back a lot but he still drinks 2-5 cups a day.

I too am way down - I drink a cup in the morning on way to work and sip one during the day at work - thats it!
