Caffeine detox

We have a bean to cup Gaggia machine in the office, and it makes delicious coffee. I am really sensitive to things. Not a good combination, and resulted in a rollercoaster of manic depression during the day, followed by crashing and burning in the evening.

After deciding to give caffeine up as an experiment, I had a pounding headache for five days, was generally slothful and had trouble sleeping. I did my turkey, and have returned to a coffee free equilibrium. My moods are more stable, I can focus better and I don’t crash in the evenings 🙂
