What Is The Cutoff Time For A Cup Of Coffee
Hands up who loves their caffeine boosts? Yep me too, I can't imagine a day when I won't consume my numerous cup of coffee to get me going in the morning and then sustain me throughout the day.
How many of us have spent long nights stuck in the office while we trawl our way through a particularly tough project? Too many of us to mention I'll bet, and not many of us can say that those caffeine boosts haven't helped us to get through it.
Resisting caffeine late at night is the hardest part. There's nothing quite like a coffee to round off a meal in a restaurant, and this is the hardest one for me to say no to.
Apparently, I have to fight my urge for caffeine if I want to sleep at night. The later in the day you drink caffeine, the later it'll be before you can go to sleep, etc etc.
They reckon that it can take up to 10 hours for caffeine to leave your system, so you so the math. Whatever time you have your last caffeinated drink, add 10 hours on. This also depends on the how your body reacts after the withdrawal of the caffeine.
If you use sugar in your drinks, you will lose not only your caffeine boost but also your sugar rush; resulting in a crash. You may be able to sleep if you do this.
Try this little test to find out where you stand. If you have your last caffeinated drink at 2 pm, try it at 3pm the next day, 4pm the day after that and so on. You will then know when you can have your last coffee and still be able to sleep.
Don't get impatient and only have the last drink a little later each day. If you skip a couple of stages you may well end up in being in a cycle of sleepless nights and gallons of coffee to keep you going while you're awake.
In addition to drinks, this author also regularly shares writing regarding non-slip rug pads and dining room table covers.
