I need a bomb

[andrewducker]

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that 80-90% of people in the USA drink caffeine every day.

I mostly cut it out of my diet a while back, and find that I sleep better and am happier since then, but I haven't been a major user since I realised it was taking three cups of coffee to get me going in the morning and quit overnight (the headache lasted about four days).

I usually have a cup of coffee in the mornings because I like the taste and am not aware of using it to wake me up. I wake up just fine on mornings when I choose not to drink coffee, and generally use either exercise or a shower as my definite wake up techniques.

I try to avoid changing my caffeine intake (having more than one caffeinated drink a day, or missing my daily caffeinated drink) as that can trigger migraines.

See, I had exactly the same reaction, a can of irn bru or coke with my lunch that missing triggered a migraine, and my solution was to give up caffeine as close to completely as I could. It's interesting how different folks can have exactly the opposite solutions to the same problem. =)

I don't know that you had *opposite* responses, as such; you both settled on a daily intake allowance of caffeine from which you do not deviate. You just decided on different amounts, and even then, there's not much of a graph difference between "zero" and "one."
