Afternoon Caffeine Cutoff
An afternoon caffeine cutoff limits coffee after early afternoon—so slump fixes do not steal sleep or mask under-fueled lunches.
An afternoon caffeine cutoff stops coffee and energy drinks by early afternoon—often 1 to 2 p. m.
—so lunch-slump fixes do not trade for delayed bedtime sleep. Extra espresso masks under-fueled lunches and trains a crash-repeat cycle.
Pair cutoff with protein lunch and a short walk before reaching for a fifth cup. Ohga flags afternoon caffeine stacks when focus briefly lifts after 3 p.
m. drinks but sleep latency rises that night on the same workdays.
Common questions
-
What should you drink during a lunch slump instead of coffee?
Water first, then a protein-forward snack or brief walk. Decaf tea or sparkling water can replace ritual without pushing bedtime caffeine later.
