Problem is that it takes more than one day. More like a week +. One day off will just be one day pain with no gain
I've found in the past that one to two days actually does help me reset (I just spend most of it sleeping) - I don't actually have that much coffee compared to most people, only one cup a day and always before 12 - but I wouldn't mind trying a whole week. I'd need a med cert though lol.
Fair enough. About ten years ago I tried going cold turkey when I was averaging i guess around 10-15 standard cups a day... First three days were brutal headaches and agitation etc. Then the next 2 weeks was constant brain fog. I couldn't work. Couldn't hold a train of thought. Gave up the attempt when I still couldn't work after those two weeks. Helped me dramatically reduce how much I was consuming at least.
