Coffee or not? The choice to have coffee in the mornings is nigh

5. Just think moderation.

When I was still working, I used to down at least two large cups of (company provided) medium roast Starbucks, every morning. I was sleeping only about 3 to 4 hours a night (job stress induced insomnia) so I needed that jump start, just to function.

When I retired, I ratcheted that down to two 8 oz cups of a mix of dark roast/medium roast every morning and that's normally the end of my caffeine ingestion, for the day.

Oddly, sometimes, when my appetite leaves me, I can go several days without a caffeine fix, and all is well. Then other times, missing my morning coffee for just one day triggers the most awful withdrawal headaches.
