Personal anecdata, I was drinking several cups of coffee to get myself through 7 hours' driving with a full work day spliced within. I used to feel absolutely dreadful. Why am I so tired despite drinking all this coffee? I used to think. I then started limiting myself to one small coffee a day. Bingo, all symptoms gone. The coffee was making me feel far worse than I would otherwise have done as it wore off, I believe.

The best way to use it is in moderation: decaf or no caffeine some days, caffeine other days when it is needed. Drinking it daily is common and often done out of liking/habit/addiction or some combination of those. However, the best positive effects will be seen with moderation.
- eggsyntax 8y ago"It's alertness effects go away after repeated use and subsequent tolerance building" Link to evidence? I don't remember seeing anywhere in the literature that caffeine stops being effective when used daily and long-term, nor does it match my own experience. Thanks!
