For me, it’s all about timing and balance. I have up to 3 shots of espresso in the morning, then if I need to be up and active/functional at 10pm, I might have an espresso at 7-8pm for that extra boost. As long as I eat a smaller meal, I’ll be fine and in fact often have a better overall sleep. But if I was a pig at dinner, or a sloth all day, there’s no way I would drink any espresso at night and even think I’m getting more that 2 hours in.
Like I said, for me it’s all about timing and balance. Caffeine effective is about 3 hours, shot of espresso is about 65mg. I was lucky to have found that sweet spot where I could do this. Oddly I can go days without coffee too, so maybe it’s just all genetics and luck.
