Going decaf has been on my mind a great deal lately really only because I don't like the idea of being dependent on caffeine to function.
I have always thought decaf. was pointless since I was never really the biggest fan of the actual taste of coffee. I usually only got coffee to fill me up and keep me going.
Now that I'm reaching the end of my college career I'm realizing that I will probably (hopefully) not need a jolt nearly as often as I do now.
Maybe the real culprit here is the lack of sleep I regularly get, or is it that I don't get?
I almost never get over six hours of sleep a night unless it's the weekend... then I hibernate for twelve hours and don't feel any more rested than if I only got five hours of sleep.
Getting a solid amount of sleep every night may get rid of the lingering need for caffeine on the daily.
I already don't drink caffeinated soda very often and I almost never drink energy drinks anymore. So really, my source of caffeine is coffee, espresso, and tea.
Tea doesn't have enough caffeine in it to cause real harm (unless you mix it with a refresher).
I've figured out how I handle espresso... half-caf... all day... everyday...
But then there's my holy grail coffee... I have found a love for my dark roast with vanilla cream. I mean I'll always give something a try, but no guarantees that this decaf. idea will stick.
