I enjoy a couple of cups of coffee a day for its own sake. My understanding is that you normalize to the caffeine so if you enjoy coffee just drink roughly the same amount every day. Giving it up is unlikely to change your sleep much unless you're consuming a silly amount (which some people do).

And, as I mentioned to my wife earlier this week, if I feel stressed or something has upset me then just the motions of making coffee or tea is relaxing.

Yeah i still drink it on weekends. I found it made me generally more anxious even with the tolerance, in fact it almost seemed to have a cumulative effect over the years for me. I have shifted to tea and once your palate adjusts, there’s a ton of intrigue especially in Chinese and Taiwanese teas. The caffeine amount in tea doesn’t bother me nearly as much either

I hear there's chemicals in tea which balance out the caffeine, and make it less of a shock to the system. My go-to (heh) is Earl Grey, though I usually drink coffee
