Day four with out any caffeine.

So I am on day four without any caffeine. Just a personal experiment to see if my overall energy levels improve if I cut out stimulants. Overall, today I felt great. Day one was pretty terrible, I had a major headache all day and I felt like I just couldn't wake up at all. Day four was better, I was super tired and had less of a headache. My workout was pretty sad too. Day three things were looking up. I had much more even energy but crashed totally at about 6:00pm. Today is day four. Much better energy all day. My mood has improved dramatically. I noticed that I don't have and feelings of tension that I used to get randomly. I've been calm and relaxed but still energetic and my workout was pretty good. My sleep has been steadily improving over the past few nights as well.
