When's the last hour in the day you drink coffee?(self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by 10pumpsclassic
Just trying to get a gauge for when I should stop drinking coffee. I drink a lot during breakfast and in the morning. But I hear 2 PM, which is still in the workday. Typically, I would say 6 PM, but I hear coffee can also stay in your system for 6 to 8 hours, so would that cut into your sleep?
When is the last hour you should stop drinking coffee?

It really depends on your body everyone reacts differently to caffeine, as a female I find that i am highly affected at different points in my cycle. Sometimes no I could have a quad and a tall nitro and nothings and different points in the month I can’t even have black tea after 2 pm. I’m an opener so I’m in bed between 7:30- 8:30. I try to cut myself off after 2 pm so I can get all the sleep.

Caffeine has a half life of 6 hours. If you have 150mg at 8 am by 2pm half of it is still in your system. At 8pm 1/4 of it is still in your system.

I generally do 3pm but as an opener I stop when I get off because I rarely pay for coffee anymore so now it's about 12 or 1. Having said that it's entirely up to you experiment with it. Everyone has different needs for caffeine.

If I want to sleep by midnight, I stop drinking coffee after 5 or 6, which seems to match up with the half life!

I’m a night owl so if it makes me stay up I don’t really care. Gotta love that caramel cold brewww

I stop at 6pm so I can hopefully sleep at 10pm because I have to be up by 4am to open.
