Is there a universal sweet spot of not getting withdrawal symptoms and most of the benefits? Like the author and his morning-only coffee? I tried a cold turkey weekend and once a day but always went back to my addictive ways.
- marginalia_nu 2y ago(I'm the author) Going cold turkey on caffeine is indeed pretty harrowing mostly from the withdrawal symptoms. Reducing to 1 cup in the morning has been relatively painless and I was seeing pretty nice benefits when it comes to sleep quality relatively quickly. I may try to reduce it even farther down the line, we'll see how that goes. Though I don't know if I've felt any serious addiction to coffee, more like depencence. I haven't had any cravings so much as felt tired and had a headache when I've gone without before.
