#2Interesting, I have a very similar guideline to using my ADHD medication.

#3> wired [...] withdrawals [..] I’d love to hear how other people manage their caffeine intake (even if it is complete dependence).
Or the polar opposite: I sometimes wonder if I have a caffeine insensitivity, and whether there's a good way to objectively measure my experience versus the average.
The suspicion comes from how some folks (like in this blog) will talk about how they very clearly perceive being "wired" or having withdrawal symptoms, while I don't think I've ever noticed such clear causation. That includes occasions like switching for a week from/to non-caffeinated sodas. (Diet in both cases for calorie reasons, which conveniently removes sugar rush/crash as a confounding factor.)
It makes for an odd kind of micro-alienation among a workforce where people talk about their needs/habits around caffeine, especially when working near Seattle.

The biggest thing for me is if I have a caffinated beverage later in the day (say after noon, but especially with dinner), it becomes a lot harder to fall asleep. This can be subtle, but like was tired all day and had a cola with dinner and now can't go to sleep is a pattern.
But yeah, if I drink a Trente anything from Starbucks, there's a whole lot of caffine in there and I feel jittery and uncomfortable, and there's nothing to do about it other than wait and maybe drink extra water and hope that helps.

#5Microdosing caffeine is what happens when you try to go to zero (or think you are) without taking into account that chocolate is everywhere.

#6My average (3 days a week ish) day includes sipping the same can of energy drink for probably 8 hours during which ill get through about 3/5 of the can. I drink water throughout the day and like the occasional acidic zest of a sip of drink, and at an emotional level makes me feel productive even if the caffiene delivery is probably on the order of 15mg per hour.

the quality of the bean plus processing is the problem not caffiene in of itself. how intelligent are the beans

#8I've grown to dislike the dependency on espresso, but love the taste of it.
I aim to have a single coffee a day and resist any temptation to have another in an effort to maintain my caffeine baseline.

#9I've had similar feelings of envy for my co-workers who appear to get superpowers from caffeine -- I steer clear as a general rule due to a bad bout with myocarditis in my early 20s :(

It helps me to pop an l-theanine if I’m over-caffeinated.
