9 months in - not much has changed
Got heart palpatations.
Traced it down to coffeine. Stopped drinking about 1 litre / 1 quart a day in the morning. Got some withdrawal symptoms, like tiredness and a few days of mild to medium headaches.
First months I had nothing with caffeine in it. Now I eat chocolate moderately daily and drink 1 cup of decaf in the morning. I like the tradition. And I have 1-3 cans of cola perhaps once a month.
There has been no great awakening. I am not more or less productive. I sleep about the same. Which is very well. It probably helped that I only drank coffee in the morning.
So basically nothing much has changed.
My dreams a lot more vivid though. Which is both bad and good.
The palpatations are gone though. That is enough for me to keep sticking to decaf. They were very unpleasant.
And probably caused by me drinking all my coffee in a short period of time and overdosing on it.
So I am good. Don't miss drinking coffee. Don't feel any better, except for the one thing that mattered.
