“A few years ago, I could stop by a convenience store for a 24 oz. cup of coffee at 2am, drink it, go to bed at 4am, sleep soundly, and wake up at 7am to go to work, no problems. That’s when I realized that if I actually wanted to use caffeine as a tool to stay alert, or try the caffeine power nap, I couldn’t do it—my tolerance was entirely too high. I decided to do something about it: I wanted my morning cup or afternoon tea to actually help me focus instead of being a lifeline to stay awake. I cut my intake back bit by bit, and in the process learned to really love coffee and tea—blends, brews, types, and styles all started to appeal to me, and in turn I’m more mindful when I pour a cup.”
