Reducing Caffeine Intake

The effect of caffeine is to stimulate the central nervous system, getting rid of fatigue, but after the drug has run its course, it may be that you begin to feel weak and irritable by early afternoon.

This is usually the time your body has finished or nearly finished digesting the food and drink from your breakfast. Drinking more than four cups of coffee per day, means you are getting too much caffeine in your system.

You can work around this by reducing your number of cups of coffee to one cup in the morning and one cup in the afternoon.
