Caffeine: Borrowing Time from the Future (The Caffeine Clock)
Caffeine doesn’t actually “eliminate” fatigue; it simply blocks adenosine receptors, preventing your brain from realizing it’s tired. Our Caffeine Calculator simulates how caffeine breaks down in your body, helping you find the perfect timing for that focus boost without ruining your night’s rest.
🧪 Understanding Half-Life
The half-life of caffeine varies but averages around 5 to 6 hours.
- Example: If you drink a 200mg cup of coffee at 3:00 PM, by 9:00 PM, 100mg of caffeine is still circulating in your bloodstream, potentially keeping your brain wired for hours.
Scientific Principles
Caffeine is the world’s most popular psychoactive substance. Used wisely, it sharpens focus and boosts athletic performance. However, exceeding your tolerance can lead to jitteriness, anxiety, and a significant drop in sleep quality.
Usage Guide
The Safe Threshold For most adults, 400mg per day is considered safe. For a truly restful night, try to have your last caffeinated drink at least 8 to 10 hours before you plan to sleep. Timing is the difference between a productive day and a restless night.
