Caffeine Cutoff Calculator
Estimate a practical caffeine cutoff time based on your bedtime and self-reported sensitivity.
How the cutoff is estimated
The tool subtracts a 6, 8, 10, or 12-hour buffer from bedtime according to sensitivity. Your last serving is compared with that cutoff; dose and drink type do not change the calculation.
Sleep schedule
Your target bedtime anchors the calculation.
Current caffeine pattern
Your last serving is compared with the estimated cutoff.
Sensitivity
People differ in how strongly and how long caffeine affects them.
Practical buffer
The result favors a usable cutoff rather than an unrealistic all-day restriction.
