I'm one of those that seem able to drink lots of coffee even at 6 or 8pm and still fall fast asleep.

I also don't feel any different during the day whether I drink it or not. Though I usually still drink it, for various reasons like taste, warmth and social aspects.

People always want to find simple universal dietary rules.

Likewise. I can happily drink coffee at bedtime. I never experience a "coffee rush".

A yoga instructor friend once told me "You have a sluggish metabolism". I cannot deny it.

Huh. I have a very fast metabolism and coffee greatly affects me. Even one cup and I get the sweats, my heart will beat funny and I get anxious and a bit hyper for a while before a crash later in the day.

I wonder if metabolism speed really is an indicator of caffeine "impact".

Yeah but there are some great and true simple universal dietary/wellness rules. For instance, this one: Never let a doctor put you on medication for anxiety when you have not yet tried totally quitting caffeine for a couple months.
Are you still under 40?
