How Caffeine Works in Your Body

Caffeine has a half-life of approximately 5-6 hours in most adults. This means that if you consume 200mg of caffeine, after 5 hours you will still have about 100mg in your system.

💡 Pro Tip

The FDA recommends a maximum of 400mg of caffeine per day for healthy adults. Stop caffeine intake at least 6 hours before bedtime for optimal sleep quality.

The Half-Life Formula

C(t) = C₀ × (0.5)^(t/5)
Where Câ‚€ = initial caffeine, t = hours elapsed, 5 = half-life in hours
