unfortunately i've conditioned myself to believe i need caffeine to give me energy when i exercise

You could also uncondition yourself from that notion. After a few weeks of withdrawal symptoms, your energy levels should be back to normal without the need for the stimulant.

@UnbornTao just out of curiosity, what counts as daily exercise in your books?

i go to the gym on three days a week and jogging on one day, but i need some rest days inbetween. although i'm not completely inactive during these....i still go swimming, cycling, or at the very least for a walk. does that count?

Yes, that sounds like a good regimen, actually.

Technically correct, the best kind of correct.  

Fair enough.

If you're a caffeine sensitive person, meaning your system gets rid of it very slowly, then stop caffeine preferable 12hs before bed. That work for me, but with low doses. If I drink a strong expresso then goodbye sleep!
