Caffeine may be associated with day-long stress.
In the study, the researchers found that caffeine produced stress reactions all day long, all the way to bed time — even when consumers were “cut off” at 1 in the afternoon.
One thing I’m slightly confused about — back when I did some caffeine research a while back, I recalled caffeine’s half-life as being 1.5 hours, not 4 hours. That’s a huge difference.

Maybe the “stress” is caused by the caffeine craving not the caffeine. That would last 24-7.
How timely…..I think I hear the pot calling as I type.
you know, i’d never though this would happen to me, but i’ve given up on caffeinated coffee. i never would have been able to do it for my own sake (i’m nursing), but since i’m off it, i find that decent decaf does just as well.
please don’t let the people in the old cafe know 🙂
Frankly, I don’t really like the taste of coffee all that much (which is why I take it two-creams-two-sugars). It’s a convenient caffeine delivery system for me, to be perfectly honest.
Hot tea, pots and pots of it.
I have to stop my tea consumption before 5:00 or I can’t sleep when I hit the sheets at 10:00 or 11:00…
can’t live without my caffiene… wadduya mean it’s killing me?
Well, it also makes you smarter, sexier, and less prone to Alzheimers, so I wouldn’t worry too much about it.
Lou uses coffee as a caffeine delivery vehicle, too. Save when we’re on vacation and he gets really really good coffee, but that’s pretty rare.
Me, I can’t stand the stuff. Coffee is just disgusting.
But I can’t live without tea. Hot, of course – rarely iced, and then mostlly flavored (like raspberry) or if I’ve made my own sun tea.
