I remember I used to have headaches on holidays. It was frustrating. I was ok at work but not when I had free time.
Then I realized I drank a lot of water at work but not enough at home.
The relief was pretty quick after drinking. Now I always have a 2l refillable bottle by my desk.
Also leaving caffeine made me more energetic through the day. I don't need that sip of coffee to be able to function and if I'm tired for whatever reason, if I drink a coffe now I really feel the effects and keeps me awake and alert.
- eru 5y agoCaffeine is a drug that builds a tolerance very quickly. So if you only have it every once in a while, you are going to get more out of any single dose.
- silicon2401 5y agoIt's nice to see others who feel the same. I use a 1L bottle but same deal; whenever I feel a bit off, chugging some water is usually enough to feel normal again. And if I'm consistent with my water, I usually don't feel off to begin with. Same about caffeine! I think a lot of people are addicted to caffeine and think withdrawal is what normal energy level is like, and caffeine boosts you. For me it's been the complete opposite. Now that I don't drink coffee I always feel energy, without the psychological effect of thinking that I'm tired if I'm not drinking coffee.
- Darmody 5y agoYeah, I think the psychological effect it produces is so strong it influences us without even knowing it's psychological. We've all heard people say "don't even talk to me until I have my coffee". It's not that you need that coffee 2 minutes after you wake up but you think you need it or you can't do anything without being an ass.
