Early october when I moved away from home to go to uni I did not have a coffee machine, so I had to decide if I want to drink bad coffee or just stop.
Not wanting such a thing to have any influence on my heart rate and wake schedule, I then decided to just quit.
As alternative I just went to black tea instead, which I soon realized can also very easily affect one in the same way after 3-4 cups a day. So I stopped consuming that too.
That was about 4 months ago. Today I had the little idea of just making a liter of chai, when coming home exhausted from uni, with too much black tea to just stay up and work on a programming assignment, but that only went mediocre.
It ended up making me rather agitated and I probably should’ve just gone to sleep instead of trying to go around natural exhaustion.
I’m currently up and can’t sleep. That has it probably been then for the next few months, won’t consume caffeine any time soon.
Thought it was rational to get away from caffeine for a longer time now but when I tried the first time for a few days I’ve went through caffeine withdrawl symptoms and had a light headache for a few days.
This time it has gone better and I’m glad I did that choice.
Sleep thanks me, heart-rate too.
