From the article, "'The half-life of caffeine is five to seven hours,' says Brian St. Pierre, director of performance nutrition at Precision Nutrition."
So if they drink some 30 minutes before a ~2.5 hr game, they've got 3 hours post-game. Which seems reasonable: an hour for interviews / meetings, some travel, settling in, then normal sleep.
At the NBA level, they're definitely not deficient on post-game recovery and nutrients either.
- Amezarak 8y agoA half life of six hours means that half the amount of caffeine is still in their body, so it would be affecting sleep six hours later.
