Coffee/Caffine before Bedtime?!
Question: I'm a 48 yr. old female and love my COFFEE (straight black). I work 2nd shift and have been having a hard time getting to sleep lately or sleeping more than 3hrs. at a time before waking,then trying to go back to sleep. When should you drink that last cup of coffee before bedtime. Please don't suggest Decaffinated Coffee can't stand the taste of the stuff.

everybody has a different tollerance to a stimulant and a toxin,and caffine is both,for me personally it takes about four to six hours to completely rid my body of the affects of caffine so i can sleep soundly.i quit drinking coffee at least six hours before bedtime or i dont sleep well.caffine also stresses the adrenals which causes problems also.once you go past the second cup your already in trouble.
i work the midnight shift and i'm 45 i drink a 12 cup pot of coffee before i work and at 6 in the morning i drink a 16 0z cup to get me through and i have no problems sleeping when i go to sleep at 2pm and get up at 11pm
me im on dalmaine sleeping tablets love my coffee but never after 6 in the evenig tea only u will have to change cooffee is the last thing tht will make u sleep
I can have a nice hot cup of coffee as I am getting into bed~and sleep like the dead. You will have to find out what works for you.
Here is my daily evening routine:
I get home at about 7pm, about 9pm I walk on the treadmill for about an hour until 10pm, then I make a pot of coffee and drink a big cup of it then go straight to bed. So maybe try a bit of exercise with your coffee, maybe that will do the trick. I am with you on the decaf bit!
