Strategies for Effective Caffeine Use
Use Caffeine before a period of time that you are likely to experience fatigue.
For example, during the 3 am to 5 am period of the day or any other time when you might be prone to experiencing fatigue.
Remember that caffeine can take 15-30 minutes to take effect.
However, the effects of caffeine can last 3 to 4 hours.
