#4Some people are more sensitive than others but I’ve found no sleep issues from morning coffee, i just don’t have any after 10am roughly. If coffee is keeping you awake at night and then it doesn’t then obviously this is a benefit. I don’t think this would be “unexpected” for anyone.

Is a reasonable rule, I'd replace a specific time with $YOUR_TIME which you probably have to experiment to find, seems to differ a lot per person. My time is 18:00, any later and sleep is screwed, 17:45 seems fine.

I can drink three coffee cups at midnight and sleep well. It doesn't even make me feel more awake in the morning. Nothing. Apparently I'm immune.
I drink coffee especially in the form of cappuccino (the Italian one, in case the name is shared by many different drinks) and I could quit at any time, but I like it so I won't.

FWIW, I got these same benefits from cutting down to one espresso some time before lunch from who knows how many cups of coffee throughout the day.
