I started off the first day of my caffeine-free week by sleeping through my alarm and waking up late to find I had missed my Monday morning class, which wasn’t the greatest thing ever, but I resolved to try to make it through the rest of the day.
Which is easier said than done.
I definitely am operating at a much lower level than I normally am when I’m pumped full of my favorite substance, but I didn’t realize just how much I relied on it to get going. It was so much more difficult to urge myself up in the morning and get to school.
The biggest side effect of withdrawal was the fact that I could not focus on anything. I was so tired all I could think about was how much I wanted to find a dark corner in the library and curl up and just sleep and sleep. I find myself lacking motivation to do simple tasks because I’m just too exhausted.
I did, fortunately, make it through the rest of my classes. I even managed to stay conscious for a few hours after I got home. But after awhile, my bed just became too inviting and I crashed. Luckily, more sleep means that the day went by faster, which means I’m one step closer to the end of this week.
In summation: things suck when I don’t have my fix.
