Caffeine Withdrawal Is Now a Mental Disorder
http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/05/31/caffeine-withdrawal-is-now-a-mental-disorder/
I drink enough caffeine daily (soda and tea) to give a teenager a coronary, but can sleep 9 hours easily, most of the time. I never had withdrawal symptoms when I've stopped. I think it's mostly the sugar my body wants now, rather than the caffeine.

hopefully lower axiety. Had to skip it completely for a couple of days
for a minor medical proceedure..thought I was gonna die..the headache
from hell.
I got myself to a place years ago where I did not overindulge to begin with. And then I had to get rid of caffeine totally, for medical reasons. Now, I can tolerate small, amaged amounts at certain times of day. It's just something I've gotten very careful about.
You'd be surprised how really little an amount of caffeine you can actually require (after you've completely broken yourself of the habit, and re-introduce small amounts, mindfully, back into your life) to feel alert and functioning. Instead of half-cafs, I have maybe 1/4 or even 1/8th cafs (I make it myself, always).
And tea gives a nice lift, without too much jitteriness (still have to watch, though, as some black teas are rocket fuel).
I do not drink sodas at all, not ever. Bahhh, pooey, toxic.
Am very tired.
