I had been sleeping normally these past few days because probably I quite drinking coffee and it does made me sleep better for which I am thankful for myself that I did the quitting of drinking coffee.
Now I no longer had those disturbed sleep where I would wake up and get a throbbing palpitations in my chest as if I had ran from my sleep and it doesn't feel good to the body when it happens.
Coffee is good when taken moderately like once a day but if you are taking it like it was water chances are you can get some stomach upset and sleep disturbances.
Now with caffeine cut in my system O could say that it had done me good and I am happy for it because finally I am now free from addiction to coffee which had started way when I was still a little boy because at breakfast I am usually taking coffee with bread or whatever at breakfast and during snack times.
I just thought of cutting back on coffee just to improve my sleep and so it does the trick and now I am just taking caffeinated drink during while I am hooked at dialysis just to make my blood pressure stable so it won't crash much.

I intend to continue this way of life from now on and I will not try to battle out my sleepiness with drinking coffee just to work the nights off which I was doing for years now and I think it is better to get enough sleep as well for my health's sake because I am way deprived of it for many years now especially during the years that I was suffering from insomnia. But now I am free and I am happy and quite contented with it all that my sleep pattern improved well with coffee outside my system.
Hi @cryptopie, have you tried decaffeinated coffee if you miss the coffee?
I am so addicted to latte's, twelve shots today!!! LOL.........
I think I told you I am a coffee roaster! :)
Have a good day, maybe the markets will bounce today! :)
Part of my quitting is that it worsens the bitter taste in my mouth that is caused by my parathyroid medicine @silvertop although I really like the happiness effect of drinking coffee, it really changes your mood into a brighter one.
It is a morning comforting habit @cryptopie, I hope you feel better . :)
Good move, I drink mostly distilled water :-)
I don't think I could live without coffee. Coffee is the only thing that can clear my brain so I can do my work. Without coffee, my mind is so foggy I can't concentrate. I have to work and make money. I have to make important decisions every day. Ones that could cost thousands. One time, I tried to quit drinking coffee. I was sleeping 15~17 hours a day and every time I would wake up, I would be more tired than when I went to bed! Then I realized, "ahh! I can't live without coffee." I'm so hooked.
It is true that coffee helps a lot especially with work that requires concentration, it also gives us good mood but for me I have to quit because of my health condition but I am not totally out of it, I drink from time to time.
Coffe is my favourite . Coffe is refresh my mind . You daily eat coffe .
I get a killer headache if I dont get some caffeine. Not fun to be addicted.
