Apple Watch users here. I like it. I can tolerate at night pretty easily. I like to track my sleep. And it’s interesting to see the correlation of my heart rate and good sex. Lol

Not sure about your stress level Dave. Hopefully maybe just some of your baseline settings need adjusted?

All setting are correct. I guess I'm just more stressed out than I thought. Feels natural at this point. Maybe it is why I snap on little things and don't react to big things. I'm always already at max! More reason to have and wear the damn technology...help me be accountable for me. A good step in the direction is knowing I have a stress problem. Now to see what I can/will do about it.

Seriously thinking about giving up caffeine again. I did it about 11-12 years ago for a year of nothing. Not even chocolate or tea. Then I slowly got back into it convincing myself that natural caffeine was okay. Drinking one natural energy drink every morning. Now I'm pounding a Rockstar on the way to work every morning with a C4 or two a week. Telling myself that it's okay because they're sugar free.

Coffee drinking, you still with us? You wake back up yet? 😂

I miss the ability to quick text from my apple watch but have a garmin now and really like it for the health reasons. The ability to ping my (missing) phone might be reason enough to own one.

I'm trying to do it right now and it's kicking my ass. Haven't had a morning coffee for over a week now and I'm being plagued by daily (afternoon usually) headaches. I can only assume that it's caffeine withdrawals. This one today is a doozy... borderline migraine for the last 8+ hours. I don't know if it's worth it. I feel like I should just go back to drinking coffee every day. lol

It’ll subside in a few days. Been there done that. Excedrin aspirin had some caffeine in it that’ll knock down that pain….

Excedrin is normally the only thing that works for my headaches, but I haven’t been taking any. I just assumed the caffeine in it would make taking it counterproductive to getting off of caffeine.

True, that’s why I didn’t take it when I quit caffeine. Looking back on it, that wasn’t the wisest choice 😂 That headache sucked 😂
