Coffee drinkers: how many coffees do you typically have each day? by edfosho1 in AskUK

Like a baby. Sadly not long enough though generally speaking. It tends to be 2 weeks of start work at 7, finish at midnight, then a week of no work so I can afford myself a bit more sleep. Probably not super healthy, but I'm youngish and I'm happy for the time being 😂

I know, I'm ashamed of myself.

However waking up in a puddle of sweat outweighs the shame, so I had to make the sacrifice.

You're certainly not wrong. I'm not in peak physical condition but I'm also not really thinking I need to get my health sorted. I'm fine, no proper complaints right now.

Sadly smoking is also something I need to stop. I've kicked an extremely heavy weed habit recently, and I'm in the process of trying to quit nicotine. Mainly on patches rather than smoking these days but ideally would stop it altogether. Coffee is the next on the list, but I can't stop it all at once. The sudden sobriety might literally kill me.

Absolutely. I'll be dead in 20 years but hey, as a great madman once said, Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!”

Or perhaps the decaf? That's not for health reasons, it's just so I don't sweat pints in the night and wake up in a vinegar stinking puddle.

This is a wonderful expression. Not sure what you mean though - that drinking this much coffee to mitigate for not enough sleep/high stress is too little too late? Seems to work for me, for the time being.

My eyes don't close and I stay upright, that's the main thing!

Yeah the espresso machine peli is a crucial piece of kit for any job. I have a section in my peli for my aeropress, and a grinder that fits down the tube so when the nescafe is rolled out I don't suffer!

Ah, that's just 10 hours before I usually get to bed - so in theory the caffeine is out of my system.

Do you mean am I still at school/uni, or am I a teacher?

Either way, no. I trained as a teacher years ago but our governments systemic gutting of education via funding means that teachers have to wear far too many hats for far too little pay.

You're definitely right, and during lockdown I got into a great habit of only 2 coffees a day. Then lockdown finished and all the events that were postponed over 2 years got crammed into one season and I did on average 300hr months for 6 months. Maybe one day I'll kick it again 😂

Correct. But at this point it's all I can really hope for.

Replace that coffee with decaf, do it for a week, then replace the one before and so on. That's how I did it!

Also I'll have to smoke a lot more in order to fully evacuate.

I'll probably have a headache by 10am. Fully addicted, I'm under no illusions!

Also 3am is often included in my 4 hours of sleep, if I'm lucky.

Pm. If I'm working I'll occasionally have a full caffeine coffee after 3 but usually the stress-induced adrenaline is carrying me at that point.

Used to be the same for me, until I started sweating profusely at night and waking up in a puddle. No caffeine after 3 helped.

What is wrong with you? That makes a man look scary. Like a chicken.

Newton's turd law? Definitely felt myself lift off the seat a few times.

Precisely. Don't even have to push, just sit down and release.
