It is funny how our coffee habits change over time. I never liked milk in it but always used cream 10% or 18%. I started with sugar and cream, then just cream and now mostly black with cream on occasion. The coffee in France is a lot better than the stuff in Canada so drinking it black is actually preferable. The caffeine in coffee is very addictive though and the quantity of cups almost always increases for people it seems. It definitely did for me as well. I've been forcing myself to have only one mug a day lately. I sleep terribly when I have too much and notice that I start to clench my teeth a lot. My jaw hurts by the end of the day hahaha. I get a major headache when I don't have a cup though too lol.
I went back to one cup a day, morning, back several months as I was not sleeping. It helped. Now I have one around 8am and a second around 10:30 and will only have a third if it is decaffeinated. Sleep is too important to me to have much more coffee. Weekends are a bit different, but the working week means less coffee so I can sleep. 😊
Yeah I hear you and agree that sleep is more important. It seems that the less coffee I drink the better I sleep lol
