A Day Without Sugar

My kettle packed in last night, too late to go out and purchase a new one and i was stumped.

The kettle in my kitchen has provided 100s of cups of tea and coffee and i didn't realise this piece of equipment played a huge role in my daily life.

So without a kettle, microwaving a cup of tea was a option, tried it and would never do it again. The tea was horrible, so i switched to water.

i don't mind drinking water, but it's a little tasteless for me, it's the effects of not drinking tea and coffee that is having a effect on me and is making me wonder why my sleeping patterns are so irregular.

i usually have sugar in my hot drinks, 2 in tea and coffee with milk and 3 teaspoon full of sugar in black coffee. Last night i felt more tired than usual, this morning was a little bit different, i woke up at 5:30am and wrote a bit on my Facebook Page, then gradually started to fall asleep around 6am.

Falling back to sleep and when i woke up, i felt more refreshed than usual. Usually i wake up half tired and not ready for the day. But this morning i was more alert and ready for the day. So far i've been more productive and more focused than say a couple of days ago, where i would have had a cup of tea around 10pm, then my morning cup would have been around 6am.

I know its not just the sugar that plays a huge role, other ingredients in tea and coffee play a bigger role, but i haven't eaten anything that contains high sugar content.

i do feel better, so i shall try and keep my sugar intake as low as possible.
