When to Stop Drinking Drip Coffee Before Bed
With caffeine's median 5-hour half-life, an 8 oz cup of Drip Coffee (95 mg) needs about 4 h 38 min to fall under 50 mg, the level where most people can fall asleep normally. That puts the last call at 5:15 PM (17:15) for a 10 PM bedtime and 6:15 PM (18:15) for an 11 PM bedtime. Individual half-lives range from roughly 2 to 12 hours, so treat these as a starting point.
