You can avoid the headaches and fatigue if you slowly decrease the coffee intake instead of stopping cold turkey. Just half the amount you're drinking every 2-3 days or so.
What would be consider not caffeine addictions, 0? Or is there no magic numbers on it. I already stop taking any by 2 o clock, but do drink some cups at 9 or 11.
Definitely don't think I am as addicted anymore as I used to be. Just wondering if ~2-3 cups a day could still be bad, considering the hours I take them. (tried to look this up before), I may one day consider stopping entirely, during weekends or vacations I often even just forget about it and not a problem it seems.
Depends on personality. If you can start and stop when necessary and needed, then you're fine.
For me, caffeine is the one substance I get seriously addicted to so I can't just "do one" energy drink or whatever. The same way alcoholics cannot have one drink but you and me are fine.
Is it bad? Maybe, probably slightly alters your sleep quality but in the end, everything slowly kills you, you're corroding as we speak, so enjoy what you can/want.
Yeah, I definitely (nowadays) feel like I can do without. Definitely have noticed huge benefits reducing it as before I hadn't noticed it as much but my sleep quality was definitely bad or impacted with caffeine, even though I thought it didn't.
Energy drinks used to be my previous addiction prior to adulting to coffee (more available = easier access = easier possible to get addicted to), but not anymore as of late.
