Decaf Coffee Update

[barry1010]

Two weeks ago I swapped my usual coffee for decaf after 2pm.  That night I slept better than I had for a very long time and I am still sleeping better.  

Woke up with a slight headache that soon disappeared after two cups of regular coffee.

It took ten days to lose the morning headache.  After a week I switched the decaf at noon and today started at 10am.

Well worth it for the difference in sleep, I genuinely have more energy, more patience and feel happier.

I still wake up several times a night out of necessity but easily get back to sleep.

Don't intend to stop drinking regular coffee early mornings - yet.

Thanks for all the recommendations.  If you are a big coffee drinker and have trouble sleeping give decaf a go

Agree - for several years (on GP's advice) I've only had fresh ordinary coffee first thing in the morning and have de-caff instant (Kenco) the rest of the day (neither of us drinks tea).

ginge, I didn't believe the coffee was affecting my sleep because I didn't drink it after 5pm

Now I drink decaf during the evening.  It's a miracle 😁

Now there's just the nicotine and alcohol to sort out.

I rarely ever drink coffee so why can't I sleep?  1.5 hours last night!!!

@17.15...never smoked and drink alcohol sparingly, so no problem.

@17.25...lots of caffeine in tea, too. (And lots of other reasons for insomnia, unfortunately!)

If I knew the answer to that I'd be a multimillionaire, lb.  

I stopped smoking 30 years ago and very rarely drink alcohol
