  "note": "I love my morning cup of coffee. A lot. I love the ritual of it. Grinding the beans and giving them a smell. The slow hand dripped water at 205 °F circling over the filter. Smelling the hot brew. The rich taste of that first sip. As such, I’m certainly biased to read every article I run into about how great coffee is for you. But if I’m learning I should also read articles like this. \n\n> I set out on my caffeine-free adventure and stumbled across some unexpected serious benefits. I want to share them now, so you can jump in on them too:\n> \n> - I got _way more_ stuff done, faster.\n> - My feelings of anxiety basically disappeared.\n> - I felt more alert without caffeine, because I slept much better.\n\nA few months ago I cut my coffee from 4 to 2 cups a day, or 44g to 22g of beans, to reduce caffeine intake for overall health but notably blood pressure. I know the impact to sleep and only drink coffee in the morning to minimize that. However I haven't ever read much on caffeine-induced anxiety. And while I don't think I have any anxiety disorder, I am an anxious person for sure. \n\nAs much as I love that morning cup of fancy-pants single origin light roasted geisha washed and naturally fermented coffee — I keep thinking that it may be time for me to do a prolonged test of having none. 💀",
