Day 5 Without Coffee

Last night, I went to bed before 10:00 and woke up refreshed before 6:00. (Didn’t wake up early by choice, but by necessity.)

Before this, I’d be completely drained after work. If I didn’t take at least a 30-minute nap, I’d be groggy and disoriented for the rest of the day. It felt terrible.

But now? That doesn’t happen anymore.

I love my days without coffee. Over the years, I’ve realized I enjoy life more without it. I don’t find it hard to avoid drinking it, and I’m mindful of its effects on my body. But sometimes, circumstances force me to rely on it—like early morning shifts or pushing through night shifts.

So far, I’ve handled my early mornings just fine. Now, let’s see if I can make it through the night shifts without it too.

How much cups of coffee did you consume on average?

It’s a long story. In the past, I used to get side effects such as jitteriness and even nightmares in a timespan as short as a week. This time I wanted to do the experiment of seeing how long I can go on without getting the side effects. I could go with 3 cups for almost three months with minimal side effects this time. But mostly, I was on one espresso per day when some side effects started to reappear.

Wow. One espresso per day does not seem much. I switched from filter coffee to espresso because it’s more

work.

Yeah, but the absence of even that one cup makes a huge difference. Some of the changes take some time to appear. For example, last night’s sleep before 10:00 happened first after 5 days.
