Behaviour

Avoid drinking coffee late in the day

Description

Struggle with sleep? Caffeine stays in your system for 6+ hours, sabotaging your sleep quality. Learn the optimal cutoff time for better rest and energy.

Why we recommend this

  • Caffeine has a half-life of about 5 hours and can affect sleep quality even when consumed many hours before bed
  • Dr Andrew Huberman recommends avoiding caffeine at least 8-10 hours before bedtime for optimal sleep
  • Late caffeine consumption can reduce sleep quality even if you feel you can fall asleep easily

Usage

Stop caffeine consumption 9 hours before bedtime

Timing

Last coffee before 14:00

Important notes

  • Consider switching to decaf coffee or herbal teas after 14:00
  • Gradually adjust your caffeine timing to minimise withdrawal effects
