This is what happens when you quit coffee for just two weeks: Scientists reveal surprising effects on stress, sleep and memory
Dailymail ^ | 4/24/2026 | JONATHAN NEAL

Quitting coffee for just two weeks may make people less impulsive and less stressed, and switching to decaf could improve sleep and memory, a study suggests.

Scientists tracked 62 healthy adults to examine how coffee affects the body and brain. The group included 31 regular coffee drinkers and 31 people who did not drink coffee.

They found regular coffee drinkers experienced more impulsive behaviour and emotional reactivity than people who did not drink coffee.

The trial was relatively small, involving only 62 people.

“... experienced more impulsive behaviour and emotional reactivity than people who did not drink coffee.”

In my case the impulsive behavior and emotional reactivity is to get off the couch and busy myself with doing something useful.

Yes indeed...
A scientific study that included 62 subjects...
That settles all questions about coffee...

At 93, I drink 2 cups of coffee per day and my wife, at 87, drinks 6-9 cups per day...

Next to mowing the grass and washing dishes, the most exercise I get each day is making a pot of coffee...
Unless I forget to.../s

If I don’t drink black tea, I am sluggishly sleepy all day, until I get to bed/sleep.
Sleep well though.

I would guess that the real culprit is caffeine and not coffee.

It effects people differently. If my wife drinks coffee in the afternoon she has trouble sleeping. On the other hand it has no effect on me if I do the same.
