Today is the 3rd day with limited amounts of caffeine and so far, I’m loving it. The first day was a bit difficult. I went through somewhat of a withdrawal. I initially had a headache and found myself eating more candy than I normally would have eaten on a daily basis. However, that night, I slept like a baby. As soon as I lied down and turned off the lights, I fell asleep within a few minutes. I also managed to sleep through the entire night without waking up. That was probably the best night’s sleep that I’ve had in a while.

It’s been a little over a week now since I’ve limited my caffeine intake. For the first few days, I experienced some light headaches, and one really bad one. I’ve been drinking a little bit of green tea each day and have cut down on that a bit. This morning, I had a bit of a Red Bull and while it tasted really good, it gave me a stomach ache.
UPDATE: March 2, 2009
I’ve been off of heavily caffeinated drinks for over two weeks now. I’m no longer getting the headaches from caffeine withdrawals and I feel great. I don’t feel the need to drink Red Bulls any more. I’ve had a Coke or Pepsi maybe once, but just because I wanted to drink it. I don’t really have any problem falling asleep, but I still do occasionally wake up in the middle of the night. I can normally fall back asleep quite quickly once waking though.
