I love love looooove coffee, but I go off caffeine every now and then to give my system a break, and usually I find that I end up with more energy after than before.
But "cold turkey" doesn't work well for me, so I'll find a decaf I like and start mixing that into my brew, like 50% at first and then a bit more, over like a week or two. So much easier that way, and even if I don't make it to 100% caffeine-freedom, I can tell my system appreciates the cutting back. If I drink too much of it for too long, caffeine will actually make me tired instead of more alert. IDGI but I have found it to be true.
