The reality is I sleep far better without caffeine in my system, but once I restart consumption, it's pretty tough to deal with the side effects of stopping.

JL, I have found espresso to be a much healthier alternative to other caffeinated beverages when I travel. Although I should note that I rarely have issues with jet lag. Unless the time change is 10 hours or more, I'm pretty solid. I also have no issues sleeping on a plane.

My brain absolutely sucks when sleep deprived too - very noticeable to me.

BTW, before I forget (which I tend to do a bunch).... I'd like to give a listen to your album when it comes out.
