  • Roughly when to stop each one, and why
  • How caffeine actually works — and why it lasts longer than you think
  • Why a nightcap helps you fall asleep and wrecks the second half
  • One change to make tonight, not four

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as the Caffeine Cutoff Calculator?

No. The calculator gives you one number, instantly, with no email. This guide covers the whole evening window — caffeine, alcohol, food and fluid — and what to change first.

Do I have to give up coffee?

No. Nothing here asks you to give anything up. It is about when, not whether, and the first suggestion is usually to move one drink earlier rather than remove it.
