    Honestly, Do we even need the caffeine?

    Since quitting caffeine, I’ve felt a lot better. I used to wake up feeling like shit, drink my caffeine of choice, feel mid until it wears off, drink more, feel more mid, repeat, have trouble falling asleep.

    Now I just wake up feeling mid, and go to sleep just fine. Big difference is that I save a bunch of money, and have less anxiety, and irritability, from all the stimulants.

      I don’t bother with the stuff either, to be fair. Generally it just stops someone getting more tired, especially if it starts to be more of addiction than anything else.

      But I guess it all goes back to the idea I mentioned of people being afraid of the concept of not having 100% energy at all times of day. Instead of trying to find solutions we should instead be asking why executives and fuckers like that demand unsustainable hours from people, especially as study after study shows that a four-day work week with six-hour days is hugely productive compared to what we consider normal.

      I have…thoughts.
