I recently dropped caffeine. For about 3 weeks, I have been drinking decaffeinated tea and coffee only. Fortunately I wasn't dependent on caffeine. I like the taste of those two beverages, but my body does not crave caffeine.

The effect on sleep is very notable. I wake up spontaneously between 6 and 7 am, even though it is dark in January in CZ and we have massive exterior blinds in our bedroom which make it completely dark. And I feel very fine and productive throughout the day.

I tried melatonin before, it sort-of works, but the effect of dropping caffeine seems to be much stronger.
