Poor Sleep Drove Me Insane, and My Long Path to Recovery

I did the same, but without any of the data here.

Quitting caffeine got rid of my anxiety nearly entirely and my sleep quality was noticeably better. Literally changed my life.

The 3 days of headaches were very bad. But worth it beyond anything for me.

Open to questions if you have them, though it may take a bit to respond.

I feel pretty bummed about these kinds of stories.

I quit coffee for all of January, and I felt absolutely no difference. When I started again in February, apart from the first coffee feeling a little gross, I again felt no difference.

I imagine that simply lowering the dose over a few weeks before quitting might help with the headaches, for anyone else who decides to give up caffeine.
