No caffeine multiple days in a row. I often enjoy it, and I don't think it's really that bad for you, but I don't like the way it adjusts my personality and state of mind if that makes sense and it's easy to get addicted enough to start feeling like crap if you don't have any.
I like coffee flavour and the habit of it. But every once in a while I quite drinking it for months, and waking up in the morning feels so much better. There's no morning grogginess, or oveall tired feeling, just wide awake instantly and ready for the day. Caffeine really does make us dependent even though it is subtle
Same here, I don't drink a lot of it compared to many but I still try to take a month long break at least once a year to 'reset' so it feels good again instead of needing it to just get through the day.
It's not as bad as nicotine, but part of what's happening is your sleep quality is declining from going without your substances. Even without cutting into the later day it's best to avoid drinking coffee or a lot of tea all the time.
