I'm just trying to find out if it coffee makes me more anxious, but right now I'm just sleepier.
"I'm just trying to find out if it coffee makes me more anxious, but right now I'm just sleepier."

I quit caffeine a year ago and I went through the same symptoms. I slept for 10 hours a night for 3 or 4 days and then my sleep cycle went back to normal.

After quitting, I realized that it amplified my anxiety levels in many social situations. It also put me in sort of a strange state-of-mind where my emotions seemed dull (I'm comparing now to then). In a way, it made me more of a compliant person.

I also can remember my dreams almost 3 or 4 times a week when I'm using not caffeine. I still drink it once in a long while, but it doesn't really start up the cycle anymore (I don't keep drinking coffee or pop on a regular basis).

That's great to hear! I'll continue the experience then.
