Right now I have a hard time falling and staying asleep. My anxiety is high and gets worse post even a cup of coffee that I make at home. I'm addicted as hell though, when I don't have it I feel awful and just keep thinking about it.

Have to break the habit and reset my tolerance though. Been drinking it every day for about two decades.

You're right OP. Because of it's long half life (5-6 hrs) it's never completely out of you by the time you go to bed. So the very thing you're using to help get you going in the morning is what's causing the sleep issues. And it's worse than that. Like 2nd poster said, it's related to stress/mental issues. It also speeds up bowel motility getting rid of stool before it's spent enough time in your GI tract. I finally got off it for good a few months back. It was brutal for a month or so. One of the worse thing is missing some of the actual drinks themselves (like knowing I'm never going to get to have another diet mountain dew again). But now I'm at the point I couldn't go back if i wanted to. In fact i tried half a bai fruit juice a few weeks back (55mg) and hated how it felt

At one point I was doing about 600g a day of caffeine. Leveled out to only about 250g for awhile but I went cold turkey a month or so ago. I feel a lot better and don't miss it at all at 430AM when I train. I sleep better for sure. I'll enjoy a Monster 1-2x a week, but thats just because I like the taste.

This x Infinity. Coffee saved my life ded fkn srs

Strong no emo and this was a LONG time ago but here's small storytime:

I started drinking coffee after a bout with major depression when I had an "episode" at age 20 which lasted about 3 months, almost ending my life when I purchased a Beretta. I sat in my car at a mountainside lookout on my 21st bday waiting to pull the trigger. I knew didn't want to and was scared chitless, but couldn't stop the pain.

If I hadn't "test fired" the gun into the sky and scared myself outta turning the gun on myself, I wouldn't be here now.

Anyhow, after "discovering" coffee and its stronger varieties, I went from taking up to 60mg of Prozac along with other supplementary pharmas (including an antipsychotic Geodon which caused me the most acute mental pain I've ever had) to drinking coffee and now only take 20mg/day Prozac (widely considered the MED).

Caffeine is healthy if you consume less than 150-200 mg a day.

I drink 1 coffee in the morning and another one after lunch. Some weeks I switch to tea and I drink 3 cups of tea during the day.

Google it up, folks who drink coffee and tea are in general healthier than those who do not drink those hot beverages
