Iirc coffee addiction worsens sleep quality and costs money. It's not like blocking your body from being tired can really be beneficial.
Alternatively you have undiagnosed adhd and it helps you function like a real human :D
One of the reasons I was able to argue my ADHD was impacting my life negatively was the fact I was drinking enough coffee to hurt my health just to feel human and I still had executive dysfunction, so stimulants would be more effective and overall work as harm reduction. Now I'm not even on stimulants (technically), I'm finding bupropion works best for me. I still have a small cup of coffee in the morning, as it keeps me regular.
I think, if left to my own devices, I will have about 2-6 cups of instant coffee in a day depending on my mood. Though I don't think there's much caffeine in it? I never thought about howwww much caffeine was going in, but maybe that's because it doesn't do much for me besides helping focus (poorly at that).
