I love coffee but I noticed I've become more or less immune to its effects. I remember going to lectures with coffee and being wide awake and focused. Now, drinking my morning coffee does nearly nothing, but I do feel more tired at work around 2-3pm.
This week I've decided to take a 2-4week break from coffee, hoping it'll reset my tolerance (can you have a coffee tolerance?)

Yes. You can. Read about it on wikipedia.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Yeah your body builds up a tolerance to just about anything from bad food to drugs to sunlight. And yeah if you take a 2-4 week break you should notice your tolerance decrease. You can try replacing a cup or two with decaf until you're not drinking caffinated anymore then slowly switch back to caffinated.
how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?

At the same time I personally don't believe it's ever possible to return to a state where you have no tolerance to a substance. No evidence, it's just a feeling.

I sleep only 4-6 hours a night and without something with caffeine in it I would not be able to function during the day. Coffee can fulfill this role for me, although I don't particularly enjoy the taste...

I always get brutal headaches for 2-3 days when I start decaffeinating over the breaks. Then I just rebuild up my tolerance again through the rest of the quarter, end up drinking 2-3 cups of coffee during finals week, then decaffeinate again when I have no classes.

I've started drinking more tea now, though, which has helped quite a bit.

coffee isn't bad if you have it in moderate amounts. i average about 5-6 hours of sleep per night and have one 8-12oz cup of coffee in the early afternoon almost every day. it's not enough to make me jittery but it definitely helps keep me awake. if you're actually trying to use coffee as a substitute for sleep more than every once in a while, then you're simply doing it wrong.

I wouldn't want to live in a world where I only averaged 6 hours of sleep a day.

I don't know how you do it. But, more power to you.


Mmm it's not that difficult.
I am floating between 4 and 5 hours of effective sleep a night, for the last two years.
