Every year, we all swear to ourselves we're going to start our resolutions in January and carry them until December. I admit, I'm known for slacking like everyone else, but this year, I am dedicated to keeping my word with my number one New Year's resolution: Cutting down my caffeine intake.
Anyone who has tried to wean out a long-term caffeine addiction knows what a living hell it is, especially during the latter half of the day when you desperately need a pick-me-up to keep your eyes open.
While I used to simply make another cup of coffee in the evening, I always did so with immense guilt and frustration, since I knew it would interfere with my sleep. It made me wake up constantly, ruining both my quality of sleep and my quality of life.
The good news? There are several caffeine alternatives you can rely on now that won’t give you the jitters, the sleepless nights, or the casual anxiety attacks that too much caffeine ignites.
Here are the 7 best caffeine alternatives to keep you from being a zombie throughout the remainder of the day.
