You can be highly functional and productive without caffeine. Taking a nap and getting better sleep is far better then being addicted to coffee or pop.

Pluses: I am alert, keeps me going for longer period of times then if I wasn't drinking it.
Minuses: I will crash where my body is just exhausted but I can't shut off my mind. I think some of that is normal with stress and being driven, but a lot of the reason is caffeine. I think it is the primary reason I have a hard time shutting down at night. I am sure there are others, but that is the key I notice.
I will also get a headache now if I don't drink some caffeine in say a ~12 hr period.
I am back to working out and hoping with that and drinking more water I will be able to cut out the caffeine more. I'd like to get it to none or very minimal.
Get citrus fruit on your desk, as well as bananas. That will keep you going for ages.
