I gave up coffee a few weeks ago. Ever since, I’ve slept better. But I suspect I’ve slept better because, without coffee, there hasn’t been any good reason to wake up.

I’m sleeping better, too, but I suspect that I’m just bored.

I drink coffee in the morning and caffeine free coffee in the evening.That means that I sleep well and love to get up in the morning.

One coffee in the morning, in bed with the wife. None after that and I sleep well thankyou.

I try to avoid drinking coffee later than early afternoon. Sometimes that helps. I don’t see how I could give it up in the morning, because until I’ve had a cup it doesn’t feel like the morning’s started.

I’ve noticed that my creativity has suffered this past month or so. I wonder if that has something to do with the lack of coffee.

Usually, after the first cup is when I get started. Dolly didn’t call it “a cup of ambition” for nothing…

I didn’t have any this morning, and I’m sitting at my desk yawning like crazy. My sister, also known as She Who Must Be Obeyed, has ordered me to stop and get a coffee on the way to my early afternoon doctor’s appointment.

Sounds like sister knows what’s best!

I’m going for a sleep test in a little while, and giving up coffee seems to be a common theme.
Not sure yet which of the two I would prefer to give up.

I’m no longer recommending giving up coffee, Loren. It seems quite a bit of my creativity left with the last cup I had.

That cracked me up — “without coffee, there hasn’t been any good reason to wake up.”
Exercise can replace the kick coffee offers — but coffee is a hell of a lot more fun!

I should try some morning exercise, Sabio. The main thing I’ve been missing is the feeling of creativity that seems to come with coffee. I wonder if exercise would give me that?

Yeah, exercise juices the creativity nerves too. Not as good though, I am afraid.

Good one.
I really love a good cup of coffee, have since I was about ten!
Has to be good though, I currently use a Nespresso Krups machine, makes great espresso/cappuccino with very little mess.
For some people it may be a good step to give up coffee, it is a bit hard on the body. But for me it never seemed to change much when I did give it up (for stomach pains back when). And when used within limit, a couple cups a day, I love it.
(I know a gal who used to drink TWENTY MUGS a day. Now that’s addiction.)
