umm just so you know this article makes a mistake… you say that smoking makes caffienne go away QUICKER, so why would this make it hard for smokers to sleep? with less caffiene this should be easier…

Good catch Beau! The problem is what happens when quitting. If they continue with their normal caffeine intake their caffeine blood serum levels will skyrocket to 203% of normal baseline as indicated at the following study link. If a quitter can handle doubled caffeine consumption without additional anxiety symptoms then it won’t present a problem. But what about those who can’t.

I meant to say, “smokers trying to quit have trouble sleeping.” You’re right, it depletes faster in a smoker. I was trying to point out that if you ingest normal caffeine levels and stop smoking, the caffeine may have more of a lasting effect than they’re used to.

Sorry, but if caffeine depletes by half in 2.5 hours in smokers or twice as fast as normals then shouldn’t their caffeine levels be depleted faster, and therefore there should be less on board when they are sleeping assuming the smokers and normals drink or ingest the caffeine at the same time?
