What time do you have your last coffee?

Just curious.

I cannot drink coffee after 2pm if I want to sleep by 10pm. I know other people who can drink it in the evening and still manage to sleep at a reasonable hour.

Do you have a coffee cut off time?

I don't drink coffee but I don't have a cup of tea after 2pm

Blerg · 02/01/2021 09:11

Noon. But actually can now only cope with one a day or I can’t sleep. Really annoying!

ScrapThatThen · 02/01/2021 09:32

Usually only have it first thing, or the occasional morning meeting one or coffee shop one at 11. Otherwise I can’t sleep and get these flashing lights when my eyes are closed.

2.30pm. I’ve always been like that.

5pm for coffee but I will drink caffeinated tea up to around 6.30pm then it's decaf tea only and no coffee.

icklekid · 02/01/2021 09:35

8pm decaf!

Aahotep · 02/01/2021 09:36

I only have a coffee first thing. I switch to tea after that and keep drinking that till probably 9pm. Never made any difference to me

bruffin · 02/01/2021 09:37

In the afternoon, always have decaff in the evening

passthemustard · 02/01/2021 09:38

Only drink coffee until lunchtime but I drink tea all afternoon and evening!

Diddlysquatty · 02/01/2021 09:39

3pm
Coffee and tea

RuthTopp · 02/01/2021 09:39

My first drink of the morning is a cafateire of coffee ( always black ) I drink a whole one to myself, then that is it.
Rest of day it's green or peppermint tea.

troppibambini · 02/01/2021 09:46

I drink it till lunch time then switch to tea. Not sure why the caffeine doesn't affect me at all. If I go out for dinner I often have an espresso after with no effect.

FraughtwithGin · 02/01/2021 10:49

I have a mug of coffee (bean to cup with hot milk) for breakfast and that is usually it for the day, when at home. I do not drink tea (too much faff to make). However, very occasionally I want a hot drink in the evening and then I will have another mug of coffee, usually on the "normal" grind setting rather than the breakfast "strong". It has no effect at all on my sleep.

chesterfuckingdraws · 02/01/2021 10:55

I have a coffee as my last drink before going to bed I don't seem to get any great effect from caffeine.

If I'm feeling really tired caffeine doesn't give me any kind of boost.

MrsDThomas · 02/01/2021 10:57

10:30. Can only drink coffee in the morning. Always tea in the afternoon.

Justgivemesomepeace · 02/01/2021 10:59

I seem to be immune. I drink as much as I want and have one before bed. I dont get any effect at all.

Steamfan · 02/01/2021 11:07

Usually as a bedtime/evening drink. When I first met my DH he was astounded that I'd do this - coffee has never acted as a "keep me awake" thing

Haggertyjane · 02/01/2021 11:24

12-1pm. I only have one cup a day as it gives me the jitters

Northernsoullover · 02/01/2021 11:29

No later than 2pm. I pushed the boat out last week and drank two (I normally only have one) and one of those was after 2pm. I was still awake at 2am.

pinkpetal2 · 02/01/2021 11:52

Not coffee but tea I usually have my last cup around 11.30pm at night. I don't know if it's because I've done it for years that I can still sleep after it, or if I just don't react to caffeine anymore.

AuntieStella · 02/01/2021 12:14

About lunchtime.

I drink a lot of coffee in the morning, but only the mornings

StickTheKettleOnAlice · 02/01/2021 12:16

I don't have caffine after 12pm.

StickTheKettleOnAlice · 02/01/2021 12:16

e*

Pineconelights · 02/01/2021 12:21

Rarely drink it in the afternoon, around 2-3ish at the latest

Fuckityfucksake · 02/01/2021 12:41

Depends where I am.
At home I'll have 3/4 a day and the last being around 3pm
At work I'll still have a cup at 6/7 pm
Bog standard jarred coffee (Kenco) doesn't really affect my sleep, it just makes me pee.
Proper coffee does though so I wouldn't drink that late.
Dh is sensitive to caffeine so normally only has one morning coffee per day.
