#1: if you redacted "phones in schools" and just left a scribbled-out blob with no clue what the noun phrase was, then I'd probably still believe it on general principles. That seems to be more or less what Tories banning things is about.

Are you anxious? Do you sleep badly? Then if you drink coffee or tea you should stop it

I went off coffee for two or three months and it actually made me a lot MORE anxious when I had no caffeine. I started having panic attacks that only got better when I started drinking coffee again.

Also, caffeine really helps me have less frequent migraines and less severe migraines (I'm not talking about caffeine withdrawal headaches: caffeine does something to blood vessels that helps with migraines and caffeine is actually in lots of migraine medications.)

All bodies are different,

and for people who have

a) migraines and/or

b) ADHD

reaction to caffeine may be nonstandard

1) The way the ban works in France is that students aren't allowed to use them or take them out within the school and they must be on silent. They can have them of course as a lot of parents rely on kids having phones although we warn them that this is a common source of theft, racket and online harrassment (another debate...). Another reason why we do this is that it's illegal to publish the image of person without their consent (and minors can't consent, only their parents can). Students who'd take pictures of their classmates or their teachers would be in serious trouble.

I just started drinking coffee after about three decades of not doing so, and am both less anxious and sleeping better. It's very odd.

Forgot to add: one of the other things I found in 2 or 3 months without coffee

is that I rely on coffee to have the oomph (physical energy, mental energy)

to leave the house.

No coffee? Leaving the house to eg go to the doctor's surgery or the supermarket isn't happening.

Hm. I haven't had coffee in years, because it sets off my anxiety. But I drink tea all the time, so it's not like I'm off caffeine. I wonder how many days I'd have to abstain to see a reliable result?

for someone who drinks 4-6 mugs of instant coffee a day, i'm surprised at not feeling any withdrawal from not having any for 2 days since i got food poisoning.
