So I won't preach reduction or anything to you, but I will tell you that in my situation I was able to help reduce tiredness with a couple of simple things and they could be worth a try for you too cause the caffeine merry-go-round is a viscous circle really. So things to reduce other than the caffeine are added sugars and confectionery, and other carbohydrates such as bread and pasta (but not too much). Things to increase are water (most important, drink as much as possible), fruit (especially apples as they can do more for alertness than a cup of coffee), and sleep. Sleep is the hardest, I still struggle with getting enough. Power naps are good and everyone could do with one or two 15min naps a day, but they don't replace a good nights sleep of 7-8hrs.
I really hope that came across helpful and not preachy as I hate being lectured to. But when I've been able to improve my own health in some simple ways I feel almost obliged to share.
