caffeine. I was so wired from drinking like 5 redbulls every day that I wasn't sleeping anymore, maybe a few hours here and there. I was starting to go insane. so I remember at one point on my work lunch break, February 27th 2024, I told myself I won't ever drink these again unless it's a situation where I need to be awake (like if I'm on an overnight layover with an early flight for example, which is rare enough). I sleep until about noon now on my days off, it's fucking awesome.
How was your experience? When I quit caffeine cold turkey, I was miserable. Crazy ass dreams. Headache that wouldn't go away. Two weeks of just total shitty symptoms. Month before I felt totally ok.
Now I'm caffeine free, but holy fuck, that was tough.
at first for about a week I had a horrible headache. it didn't feel like a normal headache either, it felt like a mix between the sinus pressure type of headache and a fever headache. I also was sleeping 3 times as much during this phase, like I'm talking sleep before work, get home the next day and sleep 5 more hours. wake up eat dinner sleep again. but eventually I got passed it after that week or so. felt better ever since. saves a lot of money too.
I'm impressed that you wrote such a long response without any caffeine.
