I've seen similar results in terms of no major loss of alertness and no fogginess, but I definitely get frazzled nerves, mild headaches, etc, when I stop drinking tea/coffee/etc. The problem for me is on the other end. After spending more than a year off, going /back/ to drinking caffeinated drinks caused me far worse issues - complete insomnia, with the accompanying issues related to lack of sleep. My mind simply doesn't shut down at night if I regularly have 1-2 caffeinated drinks a day for the span of a week. So while breaking myself isn't too bad, going back to drinking caffeine in any regular quantity is TOUGH, and not something I care to try again (after three trys).

You need to add a workout regimen in then, at leat 90mins of good working out. The problem is most tech people tire their brains out but not their body. My mind will be shot and i can get up and run for 60mins at a slow 6/6.5 miles an hr, it doesn't need to be crazy. I sleep like a baby when i workout.

  This. Also, individuals react to and metabolize caffeine differently. YMMV. On related note, 23andme users can see which kind of caffeine metabolizers they are from the Drug Response section.
