Sleep-friendly decisions, fast

How long does caffeine last?

People often want a single number. In practice, caffeine lasts “longer than you think” if your half-life is longer or your dose is higher.

PracticalNon-medicalTool-backed
Based on research showing caffeine can affect sleep even 6 hours before bed
If you’re troubleshooting sleep, treat “6 hours” as a minimum starting point, then personalize with the calculators.

A timeline mindset

Caffeine doesn’t disappear suddenly. It fades gradually. That’s why late-afternoon caffeine can still be present at bedtime.

Dose matters

More caffeine means it takes longer to fall below a threshold. Two coffees can be very different from one.

Use the curve, not guesses

If you have multiple drinks, use the levels curve tool to see how the total stacks and carries forward.
