Comment on Ask HN: What's better for long-run productivity: caffeine or no caffeine?parent

Comments

Sure...

Pluses: I am alert, keeps me going for longer period of times then if I wasn't drinking it.

Minuses: I will crash where my body is just exhausted but I can't shut off my mind. I think some of that is normal with stress and being driven, but a lot of the reason is caffeine. I think it is the primary reason I have a hard time shutting down at night. I am sure there are others, but that is the key I notice.

I will also get a headache now if I don't drink some caffeine in say a ~12 hr period.

I am back to working out and hoping with that and drinking more water I will be able to cut out the caffeine more. I'd like to get it to none or very minimal.
