caffeine withdrawal is terrible. you could wean yourself gradually, or just suffer for 2-3 days as the demons leave your body.

The best way to quit is to be a man, get angry, and quit all at once. Pop a few Tylenols and deal with the massive headaches which will last for two or three days. If you try to get cute and ween yourself off slowly all your doing is prolonging your suffering. Instead of a few days of pain it'll last for weeks and you'll probably fail and start drinking again.

I talked to a guy the other day who was a regional superintendent of a McCormicks distribution plant. He would be the one to sign the drafted orders for more parts/machinery worth tens of thousands of dollars.

I hate people who don't drink coffee black.
The sweeter the beverage, the deeper my hatred.

When I was working in the trades, if someone was home while we were working they'd always offer us coffee or tea, but in my country that means instant coffee or a tea bag so I'd always ask for a glass of water. People seemed weirded out by that.

i prefer lighter roasts with fruity aromas and an acidic bite. the kind of stuff that is grown at high altitude to reduce myotoxin content . then i mix it with mct oil and cacao powder and drink it fast. my second cup is just black, after which i take an l theanine supplement so i dont get the jitters. the result is a smooth caffeinated high

I make a point of not drinking it every day so I don't become addicted and I don't develop a tolerance. That way I can drink two or three cups whenever I'm tired and need to stay awake for whatever reason, and it's very effective.

[Anonymous No.11875145]

No naps. I take 5mg of melatonin a 9 PM every day and fall asleep somewhere between 10-10:30. I wake at 7-9 AM (depending on the day). I take the melatonin because it helps me keep a stable sleeping routine, which helps me keep stable energy, which means I've minimized my desire for coffee. Coffee is a vicious cycle: you sleep bad, you drink coffee to wake up and get going, the coffee spikes you adrenaline (which should never really happen unless you're about the fight or something), and then you sleep worse than you should because of the coffee and then need the coffee.

Biggest thing I've noticed is that I have more dreams. This is just because coffee can inhibit your REM cycle somewhat. So I sleep better and deeper now (hands down the best benefit is improved sleep).

I was a ball of raw fucking anger for a week but the withdrawals eventually subsided for the most part and I feel much better because of it. It's worth it, vices are a fucking meme.

[Anonymous No.11875203]

Maybe you're right. Maybe I should cut back on some sleeping. I'll think about it. I'd say somewhere between 8-9 hours is my average and 11 maybe once a week. I could probably bring it down. 7-8 is normal for an adult right?

[Anonymous No.11875208]

>>11875203
Even that’s a bit high, growing up you should’ve gotten 8 hours but when you’re a full grown adult you can get by with less.

[Anonymous No.11875221]

>>11875203
Around 8 is fine. You should check out sleepyti.me. You can tell it when you're going to bed or when you want to wake up and then it'll give you a list of times in which you should wake up for optimal rests. It takes the average length of most peoples REM cycles and gives you a time in between them so you don't wake up feeling groggy. I think they recommend 4-5 cycles of sleep which comes out to 7 and a half hours up to nine and a half hours for optimal rest.
