What users say
Verbatim quotes, shortened only — each links to the original discussion.
“I think ideally caffeine should be cycled, taken once a week or something, or not be taken at all.”
“Tolerance quickly (i.e. on week 2) fell to a point where the first cup of the week (Friday) gave me the intense positive benefits”

- The Caffeine Enigma. Does habitual, long-term caffeine intake improve productivity or is the benefit eliminated by tolerance? Does caffeine use actually pay out? ↗
- Is caffeine still effective even after a tolerance has been built? (I.e. is there any benefit to caffeine usage once users reach the point where they need caffeine just to feel normal?) ↗
