Caffeine Cutoff by 12 PM

Caffeine has a half-life of 5-6 hours. A coffee at 2 PM means half the caffeine is still in your system at 8 PM. Cutting caffeine by noon dramatically improves sleep depth.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. 1

    Enjoy your coffee or tea in the morning

  2. 2

    Set a hard cutoff at 12 PM (noon)

  3. 3

    After noon, switch to herbal tea or water

  4. 4

    If you crave afternoon caffeine, try a 10-min walk instead

Pro Tips

  • Green tea has less caffeine if you need a gentler morning option
  • Decaf still has some caffeine — be aware
  • Afternoon energy dips often resolve with hydration and movement
