Going without caffeine, i feel tired and wooly-headed. A cuppa clears that up. Don't know if that's actual tiredness, withdrawal symptoms or some sort of placebo effect. Either way, it's always much easier to just grab that cuppa and get on with stuff. (This is why i never tried hard druigs).

Could be any one of the three, I suppose.

All this talk of coffee is making me crave one. But I know I'm not tired, or don't need it, I just want to get up from my desk.
