Reducing caffeine has made me feel better than ever, and I encourage others to consider their caffeine consumption.

When individuals reduce or eliminate caffeine intake, they often experience improved sleep quality and increased energy levels.

I delay my caffeine intake for 90 to 120 minutes after waking to avoid a caffeine crash later in the day, optimizing my energy levels.

When trying to change behaviors, it's often easier to remove multiple negative inputs at once, like caffeine, sugar, and alcohol, because they are interdependent. I did this by attending a three-day meditation retreat, which helped me overcome the initial challenges.

I changed my caffeine habits after seeing the research, realizing that even if you're asleep, the quality of that sleep can be affected by caffeine.

After reducing my caffeine intake to two cups before noon, I experienced the best sleep I've had in over 30 years.

Switching to a ketogenic diet has helped me avoid the afternoon slump and maintain energy throughout the day.

Caffeine can be beneficial, but overconsumption can lead to dependence and potentially drift into other stimulants, which can be problematic.

I now drink decaffeinated coffee and tea, as I believe we didn't evolve to rely on caffeine for alertness.
