To avoid reductions in total sleep time, coffee (107 mg per 250 mL) should be consumed at least 8.8 h prior to bedtime and a standard serve of pre-workout supplement (217.5 mg) should be consumed at least 13.2 h prior to bedtime. The results of the present study provide evidence-based guidance for the appropriate consumption of caffeine to mitigate the deleterious effects on sleep.
Sleep Med Rev, 2023 ↗“Personally, I feel and function much better if I keep my caffeine intake very low to zero.”
“Sabroxy: Poor man's Ritalin, and cleaner feeling in my experience. Dopamine agonist. I take it once in a while if I need to be laser focused and awake.”
