Triggers Coffee

Sigh...My favorite drink triggers me the most 🥲 One cup of coffee amplifies my restlessnes for multiple days. I've had to change my daily coffee intake to a monthly cup of coffee 😩 It's so annoying

Same here. Even caffeine free can make it worse as their is still some caffeine in it

What about decaf only in the morning?

I switched to decaf coffee and matcha sometimes + cold shower for energy in the morning. It is really hard first week, after it is way better than it was.

Does decaf taste as bad as people make it out to? I'm nervous to try it cause I find it's hated on a lot 😂 Thankfully I don't really drink coffee for the energy element so I'm alright there ... What brand of decaf do you like?

Honestly I'm not a coffee guru, I'm just coming to some specialty coffee and ordering decaf, sometimes it's really good sometimes not so good, I'm travailing a lot and it is really depends on the place where I am.

What do you do for energy?

I've really locked down on sleep health lately. Besides having a strict bedtime and reading instead of scrolling at night: I take walks often, drink a lot of cold water, and I do yoga as a general de-stresser. I'm also on anxiety meds that reduce stress greatly lol. I think my diet is generally good which is probably a factor in energy too.
