What time do you stop drinking caffeine in a day?

[Sheree Bobbins]

I'm talking coffee. So the caffeine won't affect my sleep I try to draw the line at 2:00 p.m.

I usually stop at 3 cups around noon every day...i'm actually not effected by caffeine...I worked for Starbucks for 7 years and would take 4 shot everytime I worked and for a long time I would never feel the 4 shots so I moved it up to 6

Nowadays, the 3 cups does nothing for me, and i'm still able to have a cup of coffee before bed time and still go to sleep soundly!

 

[C.Ann]

About 10 minutes before I go to bed.. LOL..

I do take meds to get to sleep now, but it's not from the coffee - it's my mind racing and I can't shut it off.. Prior to taking meds, drinking coffee right up until bedtime has never bothered me in the least.. My late DH was the same way..

2 mugs of coffee and I'm usually done by 8am ~ for dinner we usually herbal tea. My DB&SIL can drink coffee all day up till bed time and swear it helps them sleep!

 

[Sheree Bobbins]

You can drink right up to bedtime Leshaface and C.Ann! Even the thought of caffeine at night keeps me up. Won't touch coke for supper, or mountain dew. Actually, I cannot remember when I last had a soda. It wasn't this year!

 

[AKL_Megs]

Never!

I'm with C.Ann... I've been known to have a cup of coffee or Coke at 1am!

I must be really addicted, LOL, because it doesn't prevent me from sleeping, but I am CA-RAB-BEE before my first coffee in the AM!

 

[Sheree Bobbins]

I am paranoid about getting my sleep so I know just the thought of caffeine worries me. But in the afternoon, I have been known to have a 3rd cup of coffee and then fall asleep in mid afternoon! Not often, though.

Right before I brush my teeth to go to bed. <---this is me right now 8:20 PM, I just brewed a fresh pot.

 

[MM27]

Well, it's now 8:20 pm and I am drinking a nice big mug of coffee.
Coffee has no effect on me whatsoever as far as sleep, except if I drink it too close to bedtime, I usually need to get up and pee during the night

 

[dislaney]

Sometimes I'll have a cup after dinner but I usually try and get decaf then. I usually only have 1 cup in the am.

 

[HOGFAN]

2:00 for me too

Add me to the list. I can drink coffee any time day or night. doesn't bother me in the least.

 

[GJM]

Coffee also has no affect on me either - I always like a good cup of coffee at night.

My DH always jokes with me that if he drank as much coffee as me he would be in the hospital!!!

At bedtime..sometimes even after I go to bed. Caffeine does not affect me in the normal way. Sometimes having ADHD has it's benefits. (Conversely--it doesn't help me to wake up in the morning either. )

 

[rie'smom]

I stop drinking caffeine when I fall asleep.

 

[AKL_Megs]

I stop drinking caffeine when I fall asleep.

I LOVE this!

Ditto for me.

 

[bumbershoot]

I can't go beyond 2 as well. I hate when the person making my latte messes up and gives me caff, and I hate it as well when I mess up. I bought some of those Pepsi "throwback" cans (the ones with cane sugar), and it had been so long since I had proper cola that I completely forgot that they have caffeine. At around 3 am on the second night of insomnia I finally remembered that Pepsi has caffeine...ugh.

This description doesn't even come close to what I am.. One word that comes to mind is "homicidal"...

 

[marcyinPA]

I can drink caffeine right up until bedtime and still sleep. I didn't used to be that way...in fact, in my early 30's, I went through a period of insomnia. But now that I'm in my 40's, I am TIRED at night and fall asleep easily. I wake up several times a night, but I don't have trouble falling back to sleep.
