Caffeine Free

I've been off of caffeine now since the end of July - that's 3 months. The most challening thing so far is ordering in a restaurant, I have to remember to order rootbeer or sprite, something like that, in order to avoid being served caffeine. I've had about 5 sips of tea, which technically has caffeine in it, but I never felt a jolt of any kind, it was to be polite or just wet my whistle. And I have to try to explain if anyone asks, why I dont drink coffee anymore. I think the last time I said, oh it's my last vice, I decided to give it up, and of course...

The great thing is, I sleep like crazy. And it's true. I do sleep like crazy. I close my eyes and it's several hours before I open them again (depending on my bladder) No more laying in bed awake trying to get to sleep. If I am sitting in a chair reading and warm, forget it. My body immediately goes into sleep mode and I can nod off for 20 minutes and not know it. I can't decide if I feel after those episodes or not. Maybe they'll be useful one of these days. Who knows. And most of the time, I'm not sleepy midafternoon like crazy like I was before. I don't really intend for this to be inspirational, just sharing how good it feels to just lay down and sleep, nothing artificially keeping me awake. Ahh. Sleep.
