You are my best ideas then how to sleep with caffeine
Exactly when it’s best to drink coffee depends on your chronotype, but there are a few rules of thumb.
For one, resist drinking coffee right when you wake up: as we wake up, our cortisol levels are already high. Allow your body to naturally wake and get about 20 minutes of sunlight on your face before your first cup. Also, drink at least 16 ounces of water when you wake up to replenish your body from sleeping before you drink coffee.
For most, most people, I recommend cutting off caffeine by 2 pm assuming a normal morning wake up and evening go to bed cycle. If you work shift work, adjust your cut off time accordingly.
