I am getting almost 8hrs sleep a night over the course of last week and at the weekends close to 9 or 10 hrs. I am still waking up tired and was confused as to why. Just realised its because I am not drinking caffeinated coffee. Has anyone else tried to shuck the caffeine monster?

I usually just have the one coffee a day too, usually in the mornings, I tried not drinking it at weekends but would get horrible headaches. It's just water from then on for me, with the occasional herbal tea if I fancy a hot drink. Naively I didn't think it would affect me this much.

I had to stop buying squash was getting through 1 bottle of the double concentrate in a week. By myself. Just in the hours I was at home. Ended up costing me too much. :eek:

Sorry guys, we found out my brother-in-law passed away on Sunday and this is the first chance I have had to post. As you can probably guess I am struggling with my exercise but trying to keep up with eating healthy. Although sleep has kind of gone out the window.
