I got so annoyed by hearing this was coming, and pissed off when it got here.

a. I use Open Camera on my phone (and have done for years and years)
b. I bought an actual compact camera (slightly old Lumix)

yay. I drink exactly this amount.

but if less tea does the same job, then it isnt caffeine.

OR.... higher coffee consumptions are a marker for stress/overwork etc. and lower intake poverty (they seem to have controlled for existing illess).

Unfortunately I've given up coffee as I have problems sleeping. Not getting enough sleep for long enough feels very like the early stages of dementia.
