When to Stop Drinking NOS Energy Drink Before Bed
With caffeine's median 5-hour half-life, a 16 oz can of NOS Energy Drink (160 mg) needs about 8 h 24 min to fall under 50 mg, the level where most people can fall asleep normally. That puts the last call at 1:30 PM (13:30) for a 10 PM bedtime and 2:30 PM (14:30) for an 11 PM bedtime. Individual half-lives range from roughly 2 to 12 hours, so treat these as a starting point.
