- gxt 4y agoDepends on a lot of factors. detoxing completely takes days/weeks.
- creakingstairs 4y agoCaffeine's half life is around 5 hours[1], I'd say it's fine if you drink it in the morning. I'm quite sensitive to caffeine and I struggle to sleep if I drink coffee any time after noon. It's a pity because I love the taste of coffee and Oolong tea :( [1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK223808/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK223808/
- wbc 4y agocan't you just drink decaf?
- creakingstairs 4y agoI do! but decaf tastes different :p Edit: also not all cafes have decaf or they have limited options where I live.
- flappyeagle 4y agoI recommend the house decaf from Devicion or Linea. I’ve tried every high end decaf on the market and those are the winners so far
- hackerlight 4y agoThere's variability in caffeine's half life from person to person, so everyone should experiment. I only drink it in the first 3 hours of my day, but even then, if I drink too much it negatively impacts sleep onset.
- the_af 4y agoI love coffee, but it doesn't wake me up, either at the morning or at the end of the day. I suppose it affects each person differently.
