Sleep and Caffeine

Caffeine can significantly impact sleep quality, reducing total sleep time by 45 minutes and efficiency by 7%. To minimize these effects, it’s recommended to consume caffeine at least 8.8 hours before bedtime, and for pre-workout doses, this should extend to 13 hours. Personal experiences highlight the noticeable difference in sleep when caffeine is consumed past noon.
