Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• Coffee barely does anything for me anymore
• Two cups used to do it and now four barely register
• Every time I try to just quit coffee cold I get three days of headaches and worse anxiety and decide I clearly need it
• I’ve had caffeine every single day for years, so I genuinely have no idea how anxious I’d be without it
• I lean on afternoon coffee to drag myself through the slump when I’m short on sleep, then I’m wired and staring at the ceiling at midnight

7. Set a caffeine cutoff time based on your half-life
   Caffeine has a 5–7 hour half-life — a 2 pm cup means one-quarter of it is still in your system at midnight.

8. Set a hard caffeine cutoff time
