Over the last 5 years I fell into a 5+ cups a day habit. All filter coffee or one of the plunger mug jobs.
The last 2 years or so I’ve been really struggling with tiredness. Snoring was part of it but still had major problems getting up in the morning (I’ve always previously been an ‘early bird’). It didn’t matter if I had 6 or 10 hours sleep I just felt knackered.
Back in September I decided to cut out the coffee. Initially I just started drinking tea instead of coffee but recently I stopped the black tea. Now it’s just the occasional Green Tea at home but at work it’s just those fruit infusions.
I had a few headaches when I stopped the Black tea but now I feel so much better. The tiredness has gone away. I am waking up in the mornings without the help of an alarm clock.
I would love to just be able to drink one cup a day but like another poster above my regulator as far as coffee is concerned doesn’t work. It’s all or nothing for me. I don’t find tea or fruit infusions anywhere near as moreish as coffee and rarely drink more than 2 cups in the morning.
My blood pressure has been borderline high for years. My GP was making noises about considering medicating this. My last BP test over the Xmas break showed that my BP was back down to normal levels.
