"A great night of sleep starts as soon as you wake up. So most people start their day… Your body knows how to sleep, it wants to sleep, it's just our minds get in the way. Caffeine has a half-life of about six hours. That means that it's in most people's systems for 12 hours. So, that's why having a cutoff with your last cup of coffee, or tea, or energy drink, or whatever has caffeine tends to be helpful for people and their sleep. If you wake up and you feel refreshed, if you feel energized, if you're able to focus and you have sustained energy, that's a good sign that you're getting enough sleep and enough quality sleep." -  Devin Burke
