Simple answer: As early as possible. Ideally, you should only have caffeine in the morning, but in the middle of the day is also fine. Just don't drink it during the evening. The last 6 hours before bed should be caffeine free. Even if you're someone who doesn't get an energy boost from caffeine, the body and brain still notice, which can lead to sleep that isn't as deep as it's supposed to be. It's better to get used to not having caffeine in the last 6 hours of the day and getting deeper sleep.
I had a glow up back in 2017 thanks to your videos!
real
I drink coffee so much I think I'm "numb" to it, now. 😅 Granted, I took a nap mid-day due to some "heavy" exercise earlier, and my issues with sleep isn't _not_ being able to… but waking up _too_ early!
never stop your videos has helped me so much
So, coffee in morning, energy drink with lunch, and pre-workout before the gym in the evening, keep the strongest/hardest stuff for the evening haha
There's a reason sleep researchers don't drink caffeine beverages... At 38, I'll keep it mainly to two cups a day in the morning (although broke that rule today). Based on sleep tracking tools, it was clear that caffeine later in the day was ruining deep sleep. The numbers matter when they add up over decades, even if subjectively it seems fine. Sleep disruption massive risk for dementia.
Some people drink coffee to wake up, however.. I wake up to drink coffee!!
You're back! Yeah!
I know you do a lot of videos on sleep and workout management. But I work the Night shift and sleep during the day.
I work out, but struggle having the motivation to do it after work because I'm too tired. And my sleep cycle sucks really bad and even though I still go to bed on time (sometime around 9 or 10 AM) I don't normally fall asleep until about noon, so when I get up its normally too late to go to the gym. Do you think you can give some tips to help the average night shift worker?
Generally I can take pre workout at 5:30 PM and still wind down for a good night's sleep at 11. But my old lady can't drink past 3 PM, lest she wants to be wide awake all night. Truly does depend.
Hell yea brother!
So no more pre or monster.....
Kinda unrelated question, but I thought I'd ask it on your most recent video.
I'm a fat dude, about 117kg at 6ft 1". I'm interested in body recomp. Is that achievable if I workout with a 700 ish kcal deficit a day? I'm finding it really hard to get to my maintenance intake.
I'm in that subset of people who are wildly affected by caffeine, but I like it with some weed as a pre workout... However, my sleep in recent years has been oriented to brutal bouts of insomnia, which can last days because I start hitting the coffee to be able to work and not fall asleep at the wheel on my drive home. I recently did a three week caffeine break and my sleep was done off the best I've had in years, but on Friday I hit the coffee about 9am ahead of a morning workout (god bless hybrid working) and my fucking lord, it hit me hard, felt like I'd just hit a line of coke (something I've not done for 20 years... Yes, I'm old) then failed to get to sleep until 4am, only to be woken by my toddler at 6am. So yeah, fuck coffee, it's just not worth it for me, sleep is too valuable
The half life of coffee is 4-5 hours so keep that in mind and add it for the first extra cup of coffee, and again for the 4th
Honestly I'd suggest (and highly recommend) the best thing to do is just to cut it out all together if you can.
I am a dad of 3 young children so don't get the best sleep thanks to them, I train in the gym 5 days a week, work full time and have plenty of energy without a single bit of caffeine. i think it just gets you into a cycle of needing it, and you end up building up an unhealthy tolerance if not careful.
It has this sort of jokey "I need a coffee to function" culture around it where people kind of show off about it or are proud of how much they consume, I just don't get it. You're showing off how you can't function without this? really?
I'd highly suggest sorting your diet out first.
(PS I know I sound like lots of fun at parties!)
you mean one shot of caffeine not 1 cup😂
I tend to stop drinking coffee around 5pm.
caffeine has a half-life of about 5 hours. meaning in 10 hours, your body should have processed and broke it all down already. depends on sensitivity and metabolism of each individual though
5 hours half-life means it breaks down 3 quarters in 10 hours.
0:31 Caffeine is not "more of an inhibitory substance".
It's dual.
Caffeine increases the release of excitatory neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and serotonin
Which is a result of the blocking or adenosine.
12 hours is the amount Dr. Matthew Walker gave! Let's see if that's close to what you say!
It's absolutely nonsense though because it's all about the dose. It would still be better to have a cup of coffee at morning and lunch than to have 4 cups 16 hours before bed.
@GearsOfCake never thought about dosage. Honestly I lean towards more just because sleep is so important for muscle growth as well mental health and performance that I rarely drink coffee after 11.
What does it mean when it makes u sleepy
Caffeine can also cause the reverse effect if you consume too much something that I know a lot about😂
Does masturbation affect gains?
what about drinking things like tea
100 mg of caffeine in an espresso shot, I'm guessing, but it's not like there's *that* much caffeine in regular black coffee, right? Same goes for some kinds of caffeinated teas and sodas, which I heard usually hold less than a cup of coffee. So with less than 100 mg of caffeine, we can get away with less hours before sleep, right?
Well I take a pre-workout of 350 mg of caffeine at 12:00 and I can fall asleep at 3:00 in the morning😂 if you have a high tolerance of caffeine is not that big of a deal
And then some people seem to be unaffected by it.
Wassup
Wazaaaaaaa
I take 800mg caffeine daily and I get very used to it,
Somewhere sometime I get 400mg caffeine i didn't feel anything infact it is normal for me and I go to sleep like a normal person
Caffeine does not give me a boost of energy
So it doesn't mobilize fat to be used as energy? Even though it's not the primary mechanism we look at, coffee does in fact provide energy 😂 but go off King 🤣
Way off topic but: I had to stop taking creatine recently. It was causing my prostate to enlarge. I eliminated a bunch of things after a prostate biopsy and had to stop working out for a few months. Once I started lifting again, I reintroduced my supplements slowly with no problems.. once I started Creatine again, I had problems. I stopped taking it, and the problems went away. No more Creatine Monohydrate for me.
Never felt or heard about that with creatine, but definitely felt it with tribulus and other supplements that affect hormones.
Saw palmetto extract helped me a lot.
@wolven777 - I never heard of it either until I Googled it. Apparently, it is a thing. It's very odd because I have been taking it for years.
@@wolven777 - Me either, until I looked into it. It has been known to enlarge a prostate. It is weird because I have been taking it for years with 0 issues. Maybe it's age related.
Skill issue
@@HardRockMiner Prostate is always age related, unless you are in very bad shape (and it seems you're not)
I've noticed that eating too much dairy products had a bad effect on me, maybe it's something in your food habits.
Monohydrate made me so bloated, it's was not compatible with life around other humans, malate and hcl helped me progress without worrying about gas and with far less dosed than monohydrate (and I don't have to take it everyday)
You can give creatine malate a try, maybe it'll work for you.
