THE OTHER SIDE OF ENOUGH How many times have you been told you’re too much? You’re extra? You need to reel it in? Tone it down? I’ve heard these messages from teachers, dance and cheer coaches, high school musical directors, flight attendants (OK, so that one’s on me), and former partners throughout my life.

At the start of February, I decided to switch from three cups of coffee a day to decaf coffee only. My sleep had been consistently terrible and it was the one thing I hadn’t ever given up. Even though I had my caffeine before noon, I had a hunch it was still affecting me at night. It turns out, after a month of low-caffeine and deeper sleep than I’d experienced in months, my hunch was correct.
