Important to note: Not everyone has the same reaction to caffeine. And not all caffeine hits the same. What it’s mixed with matters.

The caffeine in tea, for example, doesn’t have as many anxiety inducing effects because you also get a bunch of L-theanine, which has a calming effect. To the point that many modern energy drinks have started adding it to their formula.

Personally I sleep fine with or without caffeine. Timing matters little. What really absolutely truly impacts my quality if sleep – physical activity.

I don't drink caffine on a daily basis but some weeks I do.

One of the big things for me is coffee is not a good one to drink. The caffeine in it may wake me up but it does not fix anything else so I find myself in a state that is best described as really bad morning person for the entire morning. I may be awake but I have essentially a tension at the base of my head and feel essentially hangry without the hunger.

Energy drinks (Redbull or aussie lemonade monster) wake me up much more mellow. I have thought a few times about trying to figure out what else is helping. Its not the sugar as the coffee has plenty.

Can't underscore how much better you sleep if you've done a good amount of physical activity. Truly nothing is better than lying down after a day of physical labor.

Or physical playing. You don’t need to make it drudgery to get the benefits :)
