Ultimately, the best way to address the issue is through natural means - which means you're going to be tired at practice for a couple days. It's been a week since I've had caffeine and I sleep better, haven't stayed up past 1 AM on any given night and haven't slept past 10 AM. And each day I feel less and less of an urge to drink caffeine to fight being tired and instead replace it with eating a healthy meal, which gives natural energy.
god damn. i was off caffine all last semester, and it was GREAT! i felt better, and i slept much better. This semester is a whole different story... i just have too many classes to get a full nights sleep. (that and a little to much internet...)
