I like to drink soda at night but the kind I drink (Coke Zero) doesn’t come in caffeine-free. I cut myself off a couple hours before bed, but do I need to do it even earlier? I have a lot of trouble sleeping which I know is not just due to caffeine, but I guess might be partially. Thanks!

I use to drink several pots of coffee daily, now I am down to a 12oz cup in the morning and a 12 oz in the afternoon. The problem I have is my job require me to get up very early sometime as early a 2:30 am. On my days off I want to sleep in but wake up between 4-5 am with a splitting headache that lasts all day. I am tired of fighting headaches on my days off and want to kick the caffeine habit altogether but the headaches are preventing me from stopping cold turkey.
Does anyone have any suggestion or have faced the same thing in the past?

I just ate a few, and yes I feel a little more awake.
I tried looking it up on Google, but have found no hard facts that the candy has caffeine in it, or that they have more caffeine than a regular cup of coffee.

Just wondering. Either way, they taste better- being the chocolate lover that I am.

MysticMochi asked:


Considering that I’m sensitive to caffeine, is it possible for me to become physically dependent on a small amount of caffeine (i.e., daily intake of 10 mg or less)?
That is, would I notice a difference in my alertness if I missed a day of caffeine?

On that note, how much caffeine could I safely ingest without becoming dependent?

Thanks in advance!
Anyone else? Any personal experiences?

JennaH asked:


I am a 26-yr-old female. I probably have 2 glasses (16 ounces each) of diet coke a day. Then I probably have 5 glasses (16 ounces each) of tea per day… So, roughly, I drink 120 oz of drinks with caffeine in it per day. Is this too high?
