Caffeine is the world's most widely consumed psychoactive substance, found in coffee, tea, energy drinks, chocolate, and many other products. While moderate caffeine consumption can enhance alertness, focus, and physical performance, excessive intake can lead to numerous negative effects. High caffeine consumption is associated with increased anxiety, disrupted sleep patterns, digestive issues, elevated heart rate, and dependency. Reducing caffeine intake can help stabilize mood, improve sleep quality, reduce anxiety, and prevent the energy crashes that often follow caffeine consumption. It can also help break the cycle of using caffeine to compensate for poor sleep, which then leads to needing more caffeine the next day. A gradual reduction approach is often more sustainable than quitting cold turkey, as it minimizes withdrawal symptoms like headaches, fatigue, and irritability.
