In 24 hours, it's about 6.25%. That's negligible enough in my book, but technically, 48 hours later, one would predict from the half-life alone that about 0.4% is still there! Eventually the amount remaining becomes undetectable, but does it ever really leave our systems completely? Who knows! (But yeah, it probably does...I think...) Anyway, yes, that's my take on coffee drinking: I'd give myself at least 12 hours to get rid of 75% of it before trying to sleep again. | |

I looked up at half life of coffee (it's my first time facing that term) and now I'm confused how much time coffee needs to get out of system completely ? | |

| Jul 29, 2014 at 13:33 | comment | added | DetectiveShmee | Great advice :) Some things you mentioned never crossed my mind. For example, listening to relaxing music before going to bed or meditating. I will try this and darkening my room at the right time. I guess my lifestyle really affected my sleep, even tho it all seamed like harmless little things "everyone does". Thank you :) | |
