Biohacking Family

I love coffee. ☕️ And this is definitely not an anti-coffee post.

I love the taste, the smell, the ritual — and I know coffee comes with plenty of benefits too.

But since quitting in January, I’ve learned something pretty clearly about my body: I sleep better without caffeine.

I’ve tried bringing coffee back a few times, just to test it. And every time, falling asleep became noticeably harder. Add low iron into the picture and suddenly, staying caffeine-free made even more sense for me.

So for now, I’m choosing sleep over coffee. 😴☕️

And that’s what biohacking means to me: not following someone else’s “perfect” routine, but testing, noticing patterns and adjusting accordingly.

Although… I still REALLY enjoy a good cup when I decide it’s worth it. 😂

Now I’m curious — how does caffeine affect YOU? 👇
Can you drink coffee at 4 PM and sleep like a baby, or do you have a caffeine cut-off time?

With 500 km left to drive, we almost pushed through and headed straight home. After a long day on the road, we decided to stop for the night and prioritize rest before the final stretch home.

It was one of the best decisions we made.

A quick 5-minute search led us to Home Hotel Tollboden in Drammen, and we honestly didn’t expect much more than a place to sleep. Instead, we found a hotel full of character.

The building has a fascinating history. Originally built as Drammen’s customs house in the 1800s, it’s now beautifully restored, blending historic architecture with modern Scandinavian design. The atmosphere felt warm, calm, and different from the typical hotel experience.

The staff welcomed us with genuine kindness, our room was beautiful, and after a peaceful evening walk through the city, we had one of the best nights of sleep from our entire road trip.

The next morning brought another surprise: a breakfast with plenty of fresh, local and organic options that gave us the perfect start before the final drive home.

And then there was the gym… 😍 If you’ve seen our latest reel, you already know why we couldn’t stop talking about it. Beautiful NOHRD equipment, incredible design, and a space that made us want to stay just a little longer.

Sometimes the best memories aren’t the ones you plan. They’re the ones that happen because you decide not to rush.

What’s the best unexpected hotel you’ve ever stayed at?
