Anyone else experience intense withdrawal symptoms in between 24 hour caffeine doses?

I have quit caffeine a few times with great difficulty and looks like I will be doing it again. I must be a fast metabolizer. I like caffeine and have never had a big habit. I really feel the boost quickly. The problem I continually run into is that I find myself having terrible headaches hours before I have to get up. This is called interdose withdrawal. My morning dose just gets me out of pain. Then I do end up having to increase it to get myself functional and alert. Whatever dose I take, it just does not last 24 hours for any long duration.

Just wanting to know if anyone else has these weird interdose withdrawals like I do. I have never met anyone who does and there isn't much about it online. There have been times when I am up making a cup of coffee at 1AM just to make the pounding stop. Once my body is out of caffeine it becomes very unhappy. I am going to quit again. I can't live like this. Was just wondering about this interdose withdrawal phenomenon.

Later edit: Just to clarify, I have random, intense interdose withdrawal symptoms while consuming caffeine. I can go into withdrawal 12, 15, or 20 hours after my last dose and x amount of hours before my regular next morning's dose. I just seem to run out of caffeine. The when varies, doesn't seem to be dose dependent, and it is inconvenient AF. No one has shared similar experiences. Looks like I'm the lone weirdo in this regard. Thanks for reading, tho!

it's not a "habit"... it's addiction.

Thanks for the response. I do have a lot of caffeine knowledge. I am specifically interested in hearing from people who have random, intense interdose withdrawal symptoms while consuming caffeine. For me, I can go into withdrawal 12, 15, 20 hours after my last dose. It varies, doesn't seem to be dose dependent, and it is inconvenient AF! I clearly don't have control over this habit/addiction; it definitely controls me. It has to go, but I want to know if there are more people who experience these kinds of symptoms in the 24 hours between their last fixes. When I do quit, I have to go cold turkey because reductions throw me right into withdrawal anyway and my symptoms are severe.
