Coffee woes...

[azziria]

The cutting-down-on-caffeine thing (because brews don’t come regularly on the boat, and my addiction was causing me problems) is going quite well – I’m sleeping better, for one thing. However my two mugs of coffee at breakfast (and if you’re going to drink coffee, you might as well make it strong enough to taste or what’s the point?) are now making me sweat and shake, so sadly I guess I’m going to have to cut down on them too :(

I've got to the point at times where I feel ill, shakes, headache, upset stomach, disturbed vision etc but the worst was during a residential course with work. Final night some of us were up until almost the following morning and throwing espresso's down out throats all night. Felt like a booze hangover from hell the next morning, I just wanted to curl up and die in a corner!

I'm surprised by the sleeping thing - I'd been making a point even before now not to drink caffeine after lunch, but it's still made a difference stopping earlier. I'm going to try to cut down to one mug at breakfast - I don't think I actually *want* to go without completely.

The other interesting thing, of course, is what's a physical need and what's psychological habit - after being out on Sunday morning, I got home and really, really wanted a cup of tea after my lunch - but I've not been wanting a lunchtime cup when I've been at work, so that was definitely a habit thing.
