-
Insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns
-
Increased anxiety, restlessness, or irritability
-
Headaches and fatigue when skipping your usual dose
-
Dependence on caffeine to feel “normal”
-
Mood swings or crashes throughout the day
Then your caffeine habits are affecting your mental health and getting in the way of rest, and it’s time to do something about it.
