Caffeine

[CourtneeLuv]

Is anyone else no longer able to tolerate any caffeine at all? I had two tiny glass bottles of coke zero yesterday afternoon, I think they are 230mls each, and I was awake until 5am 🤬

Had to wake up at 6 for a scheduled telephone call at 6.30am so will have to do today on fuck all sleep.

The same even happens if I drink tea past lunchtime, I've switched to decaf tea now!

I've never drunk coffee but did used to drink Redhbull but haven't for years now.

My sleep is so disrupted that I think I'd be dead without caffeine (although I do appreciate it's probably a catch 22 situation).

My issue atm is that I can't tolerate alcohol at all! Fast asleep after the slightest drink, followed by a three day hangover 😭

Stopped having caffeine after about 4pm recently and it's helped my sleep quality

think I'm slightly more tolerant than I used to be, but that's starting from very reactive place

I don't have caffeine after 10am, I have decaff tea then

Jesus. I had a two day hangover earlier in the year and stopped drinking for a while after that. That was purely down to the amount I drank though.

I've had a few glasses of wine recently and been fine, except for a but if a reaction on my face, hot and red, but no hangover. If I had to give drinking up completely as well I wouldn't be happy.

I've switched to decaf completely, so I'm on the hunt for some decaf earl grey now.

I have about 5 cups of coffee a day- but these days they are all decaff. My sleep is still poor... but not as poor as it was when I drank caffeinated. I now fall asleep quickly but sleep lightly with several wakenings through the night. Would love to feel refreshed when the alarm goes off but I feel shattered.
Blaming menopause - am 55 and it's been like this for a good few years now. Mercifully only minor problems with menopause generally.

I'm still OK with caffeine, but no coffee after 1pm. Given up the booze when realised 1 small glass wine gave me a headache. 😞 Have had an occasional bottle of beer since then.
