Comment on How do I stop sleeping through everything?
Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 1 day agoI’ve been there before. I notice it when I develop a tolerance to caffeine and it doesn’t wake me up.
Depending on how much you take, your withdrawal might really suck major. If you can afford to lose a weekend or any 2 day consecutively, go cold turkey those 2 days. You’ll lose those days cause you’ll feel like absolute shit when the headache kicks in. But then on Monday go back to caffeine but only around half of what you usually do per day. You’ll feel amazing getting the caffeine again after the cold turkey weekend, and you’re tolerance should go down. This has worked for me in the past.
Or wean slowly. Whatever works for you.
Those 2 days suck though. I love caffeine…

I switched to first to black coffee instead of, in my case, Mt. Dew. Then once I was caffeine free (and more importantly to me at the time, sugar free) save for coffee, I switched to decaf. Felt tired the first week, but no headaches. Decaf still has caffeine in it so you avoid the migraine, but so little it doesn’t affect you much.
Honestly, the massive sugar cravings were a bigger problem for me for months than the caffeine withdrawal, but I lost 20 lbs just cutting the sodas out.
