Your Questions: When should I stop drinking coffee during the day?

Coffee

When should I stop drinking coffee during the day so it doesn't affect my sleep?

-Andy

Research suggests that 2pm is a sensible time to stop drinking coffee. It's a good idea to limit your caffeine to the morning and early afternoon as the stimulant stays in your body for hours.

One small study conducted in 2013 showed that coffee consumed as much as six hours before bed had a significantly disruptive effect on sleep. We've created a 24-hour guide to a good night's sleep which includes a recommendation on a caffeine cut-off point, plus when to wake up, exercise and eat in order to give your body the best chance for quality rest.
