The biggest thing that people don't realize is the more you drink it, the less positive effect you get from it (i.e. the alertness) while still suffering the negative effects, such as disruption of sleep. even those who say they can fall asleep right after drinking a mountain dew are not getting the quality of sleep they need. Sleep comes in different stages: 1,2,3,4, and REM. Stages 3 and 4 are deep sleep, the refreshing sleep in the first four or five hours of the night. As the night wanes, your sleep becomes more stages 1 and 2, lighter, and then voila you wake up. Caffeine disrupts stages 3 and 4, so even if people sleep through the night, they're not getting this restful sleep. Also, as the night wanes, they're more likely to wake up earlier b/c of the sleep disruption. I completely quit caffeine about 3 weeks ago, and I sleep LESS than before but feel MORE rested. Go figure that out. We fall into a trap that if we're tired, we need more caffeine....without realizing that it's the caffeine that's making us tired, both on the 'crash' you get and the disruption of sleep quality. Having said that, i still love my Starbucks now and then....just decaf. And, I hold the caf in reserve for when I really need it. Everyone’s threshold for caffeine tolerance is different.

I completely quit caffeine about 3 weeks ago, and I sleep LESS than before but feel MORE rested. Go figure that out. We fall into a trap that if we’re tired, we need more caffeine….without realizing that it’s the caffeine that’s making us tired, both on the ‘crash’ you get and the disruption of sleep quality.

Having said that, i still love my Starbucks now and then….just decaf. And, I hold the caf in reserve for when I really need it.

It's an entirely different brew. I remember when I was a barista back in the day, my manager told me there is twice the caffeine in the iced coffee as in the regular brewed coffee, but I've never been able to verify that. I'd really like to see the figures! Why hasn’t anyone listed the caffeine in their ICED coffee?? It’s an entirely different brew.
