How To Stay Awake Without Coffee

Although there are studies that tell you that coffee is not good for you to consume on a regular basis, the majority of studies these days have come to the conclusion that coffee - as long as it is not consumed in excess, and as long as it is not relied upon for energy - is perfectly fine for you to consume; at the same time, however, many people do consume coffee in excess, or do rely on it for energy, and if you fall into either of these categories, here are a few things you can consider doing in order to stay awake without coffee.

If you have tried to simply "get more sleep" in order to skip the coffee and still stay awake, you have probably found that this does not exactly work; one solution that does work for most people, however, is replacing coffee with tea - and while tea does have caffeine in it, the caffeine content is lower, which will give you a hot, tasty drink that will not cause you to be quite so reliant upon it.

Believe it or not, you can actually get just as big of a shot of energy as you would get from a cup of coffee by eating an apple, and apples are not the only fruits that are good for giving you energy; consider adding an apple or two - or a couple oranges, or a couple servings of berries - to your daily eating plan, and watch as your energy begins to climb.

And if you adore chocolate, realize that dark chocolate is a great way to keep yourself awake, as cocoa has a number of properties that help to boost energy; when you go for chocolate, however, make sure you are going for dark chocolate that has at least 70% cocoa, as this will keep you from experiencing sugar crashes as well.

Not every person who drinks coffee has a need to give up this habit - but if you drink coffee to excess, or if you depend on coffee for energy, try these three ideas, and watch as coffee no longer becomes a crutch that gets you going in your day.
