Less Coffee, Better Sleep
Posted: 2024-07-31Tags: SleepAs an experiment, I’ve reduced my coffee-intake to a single cup a day for about a week now. It’s made an enormous difference in sleep, mood and energy. Tired when I should be awake, and awake when I should be tired.Normally I’d drink 4, sometimes 5 large cups of coffee throughout the day (I say cups but it’s literal tea mugs), and it wasn’t until the third I really could get going.
