Whenever I stop drinking coffee for a few days or even months, I find that it becomes harder to wake up. I seem to sleep a lot heavier, but in the morning it's difficult to open my eyes as they feel heavy.
It doesn't matter if I have 1 cup in the morning or drink coffee all day. As long as I have it in my system from the previous day, it's very easy to wake up the next day.
- ShinyLeftPad 2mo agoCould be catching up on long term sleep deficiency
- nchmy 2mo agoAgreed. This sounds like someone whose system is very out of balance and would benefit from a coffee detox (and significantly more sleep) of at least 2 months.
- Schiendelman 2mo agoDo you track exactly how much sleep you actually get? Like with a device, not with a journal. That sounds like you may be aren't getting enough sleep, consistently.
- CapsAdmin 2mo agoI've tracked it for a few years with whatever the latest samsung watch is, and it usually says it's good to excellent. My total sleep time is about 6 hours. deep sleep is about 1 hour and 30 min. rem sleep is about 1 hour and 20 min. I usually go to bed around 11pm and wake up at 6 am (give or take, I'm married) It does however warn me about bad sleep if I've been drinking, have a fever, traveling across timezones, or staying up very late for some reason. One of these things may happen every 2 months or so. I feel mentally good, I'm in shape and in general good health according to yearly checkups. I've been drinking coffee for about 18 years now.
- Schiendelman 2mo agoYou have good habits. I think six hours may be leaving you with sleep deprivation, though. Despite a lot of pop science about different people needing different amounts of sleep, it seems pretty likely that the overnight chemistry just takes a certain amount of time.
