Went to bed at 9PM last night, was yawning since noon.

Got up this morning after hitting the snooze seven times.

The Starbucks sign laughs at me, vindictive little trollop.

I remain in a vegetative state most of the day, I think I sprouted a root from my ankle.

I woke up this morning on the highway. Six times.

Yeah, I think I may need to go back on.
 
You know what?
Last night, after I quit jittering from that pot of coffee, and even after a sixpack of beers, I STILL wasnt able to sleep last night.
I may have fallen asleep finally around 2 am.

Oh :( Sounds like it's going to be tough going for a while man..... sorry to hear it. A few years ago I dropped coffee and it was hard for about 2 weeks. I just drink lots and lots of water now.
 
wow, i don't think i could give up my coffee and teas. i love them too much.

for those who are completely caffeine free, do you feel any different?

I generally drink at least 64 ounces of coke m-f...I would be snoring into my keyboard without it
damn, that's a lot of coke - how many cups of coffee is that the equivalent to caffeine wise?

it's hard to say if I feel different because I've never really been dependant on caffeine.

sure, I get tired during the day, but not a lot

I keep an active lifestyle and get plenty of sleep, so I pretty much wake up every morning springing into action

probably around 3-4 cups of coffee just randomly guessing...iirc, coffee has WAY more caffeine than coke

Ya, my pee doesn't stink, my scalp doesn't itch from getting jacked up all the time, and I just generally feel better. Probably a rare case, but I really don't have a problem making it through the day unless I don't get enough sleep the night before.
