No matter when I drink coffee, it never affects my ability to sleep. I used to drink it at around 9pm during exam week. I would actually even get really sleepy in the middle of reviewing. Maybe there is just something in the coffee that you drink. Or it could actually turn out to be something else.

It never affects my sleeping. I've had one as late as 7:00 pm before. Caffeine just affects each person differently I guess.

I often have trouble sleeping too so I always drink decaf. I try to avoid all caffeine...cocoa, coffee, colas...it makes me jittery.

When I was young, I really couldn’t fall asleep after taking a cup of strong coffee after 4pm. But now I totally don’t have such sleeping problem even though I have taken coffee or tea one hour before going to bed.

I don't think so. I drink coffee anytime I feel drinking it. Without considering the time of the day. So far, i don't have difficulty in sleeping.

I don't have any trouble sleeping no matter what time I have a cup of joe. I have had coffee at midnight before in an attempt to stay a wake but it just won't do it. I guess I am immune to the caffeine or something. I drink alot of diet sodas (way to many actually) and they too have no effect on my sleeping. The only thing that I have found, that is coffee related that makes me stay awake, is chocolate covered expresso beans. I mean these things will give you the jitters. I drove my family all night to Myrtle Beach one Summer and just kept popping those chovolate covered beans.

Yes, I'm one of those people that coffee doesn't affect me at all, as a matter of fact, sometimes I have to drink a cup of coffee to relax, before I can get to sleep!!

I have it to digest at 1pm and 9pm, i always sleep very good! I think that it depend of your metabolism and how much coffee have you. I'd like my espresso and nobody could take away it!
