> I don't think many are reporting bad effects on sleep from drinking coffee only in the morning.

The article is precisely about how drinking coffee, even just in the morning, absolutely can negatively affect your sleep.

As with anything medical, there can be outliers. But having sleep problems from a morning coffee seems like such an outlier that it doesn't make for interesting reading.
Do you have any basis for claiming it's an outlier?

Caffeine consumption is widespread. Difficulty sleeping is widespread.

That's not saying there's a clear cause and effect -- caffeine has lots of effects, and difficulty sleeping has lots of causes.

But it's just as silly to say that any association is an outlier. And given what we know about the variability of the half-life of caffeine in the body, it's an extremely plausible possibility for a significant proportion of the population.

Not "such an outlier" at all. I'm struggling to see how you could be so immediately dismissive of it.
