When Is Ok To Consume Cafinated Drinks?

[drobi619]

Every day, I have a coffee with breakfast, and then later in the day, I always have an energy drink like a monster. The thing is that I always find that my sleep is not doing so great, so I am wondering how late in the day is the cut-off for any caffeine.

Noon.

Everyone is different - I can drink a double espresso just before bed and sleep no problem

[davebro3]

some folks don't take any caffeine at all - it's unnecessary.

Cut out the 'energy' drinks.

How's your weight?  13 teaspoons of sugar in one can of Monster.

40 teaspoons of coffee.  

More calories than a poached egg and two slices of toast.

Why would anyone drink that?

[Gill1941]

Never.

I always drink tap water or herbal teas. Occasional hot chocolate.

Caffeine is just another addiction.

As Barry says, loads of sugar in these energy drinks.

I have never known a caffeinated drink stop me sleeping at night. It does (eventually) make me more alert if feeling tired during the day.

 

My suggestion is to have a coffee any time you feel like one, and to note how you, personally, react to it.

[drobi619]

I always have a sweetener or zero sugar monster so not a lot of sugar consumed 

[davebro3]

how is zero sugar monster an "energy" drink?

Quote (from the NHS website):
"The effects of caffeine on the body can last up to 7 hours, so you may want to avoid it in the evening if you are having trouble sleeping"

OG sounds right: try it at different times and make a note of how your body responds. How my body responds is no help to you.
