I love my caffeine, fact. It makes me feel good and gives me a great boost when I'm starting to flag. As I'm not a great morning person either, I would be unbearable if I didn't have my cup of coffee to make me feel human in the mornings!
The thing is, the boost runs out and your find yourself needing another one, and then another one. If I have to work late and know that I must finish before I can even think of going home, those caffeine drinks are a necessity to make sure I get through it.
If you are busy late at night, or eating out, do you find it as hard as hard as me to resist a coffee? It really takes some will power!
It is recommended that if you want to go to bed at a decent time and have a good night's sleep, you must avoid all kind of caffeine in the evening. Scientific facts seem to back up these claims.
Caffeine is supposed to hang around in our systems for anything up to ten hours. So on that premise; if you have your last coffee at 4 p.m it will still be there at 2 a.m. Although this open to debate depending on the individual and the fact that everyone's body acts differently without the caffeine boost.
Those that also sweeten their drinks are more than likely to have a 'crash' than others, due to lack of caffeine and sugar. It is those who crash that tend to get to sleep quicker.
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.
Make sure you do this carefully though in stages. Don't jump straight to having your last coffee at 8pm. If this keeps you up all night you will have to drink it all the next day just to stay awake. - 31521
