Decaffeinated coffee is not as bad as it sounds!

I’ m a self confessed coffee addict but to be honest, it’s played havoc with my sleeping (or lack of it) over the past couple of years. Despite that, I enjoy coffee so much that I can’t, I mean I don’t want to, give it up or cut down. A friend of mine suggested I try switching to decaffeinated coffee but I found I couldn’t stomach the stuff. After doing a little research on the web, I discovered that there are some great tasting decaffeinated blends and it’s just a case of finding the right one. I’m now happily converted to a decaffeinated coffee of my choice and sleeping is back to normal.
