Frequently asked questions
How long does caffeine stay in your system?
Caffeine has a half-life of 3-7 hours, meaning it takes this long for your body to eliminate half the consumed amount. Complete elimination typically takes 8-14 hours.
When should I stop drinking caffeine for better sleep?
Stop consuming caffeine at least 6-8 hours before bedtime. For most people, this means no caffeine after 2 PM if you sleep at 10 PM.
Does caffeine sensitivity affect sleep differently?
Yes, highly sensitive individuals may experience sleep disruption from caffeine consumed 10-12 hours before bed, while others may only need 4-6 hours clearance time.
