Coffee does not wake you up! Here’s how it works. Caffeine has a similar chemistry to a compound called adenosine, which is a byproduct of ATP, the body’s energy currency. It can bind to the adenosine receptor and inhibit the signals that regulate sleep. This isn’t really giving you the energy you need!

There is often a withdrawal period when you quit coffee. Here’s what to expect:

Days 1 and 2 Within 16 hours of quitting coffee, you may experience a headache caused by a decrease in dopamine.

Days 3 to 5Irritability peaks, but you’ll likely have fewer coffee cravings as dopamine adapts. You may crave other things, such as sugar or fatty foods.

Days 6 and 7At this point, you may notice that you’re sleeping better. Cortisol levels drop.

Days 8 to 10 Your mood improves, and you’re no longer experiencing crashes.

Days 11 to 14Cognitive function improves.

Days 15 to 21 Dopamine levels have returned to nearly normal.

Days 22 to 30This is when you’ll notice the full benefits of quitting coffee. Your energy levels should be noticeably improved.

Caffeine exists in plants as a natural pesticide that actually paralyzes bugs! It has a hormetic effect in humans, which means it induces a small amount of stress that causes the body to adapt.

To increase energy naturally, focus on the following:

• Sunlight

• Exercise

• Electrolytes

• Adaptogens

You don’t have to quit coffee cold turkey. Try replacing it with green tea, eventually shifting to herbal tea. For an energy boost, try sea salt in water, electrolytes, or magnesium powder. Ashwagandha can help make the process smoother. Lemon balm tea works well too!
