Last safe 300 mg drink
For this drink size, the safe window closed earlier today. A smaller drink, or decaf, may still fit.
Today's drinks alone leave about 45 mg at bedtime.
Solid: caffeine from today's drinks.
Stop guessing your cutoff.
Here you type your drinks in. ARC does the same math from every drink you log in one tap, moves your last safe coffee the moment you log a cup, shows it as a live countdown, and tells you plainly when no cup fits any more.

Bang Energy Hour-by-Hour Caffeine Decay Table
Pharmacokinetic Decay (5.5h Half-Life)Exact milligrams of caffeine remaining in the bloodstream at 2-hour intervals if consumed at various times of day, based on an average human caffeine half-life of 5.5 hours. Target is less than 50mg active at 11:00 PM bedtime.
| Intake Time | +2 hrs | +4 hrs | +6 hrs | +8 hrs | +10 hrs | +12 hrs | At 11 PM Bed | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 08:00 AM | 233 mg | 181 mg | 141 mg | 109 mg | 85 mg | 66 mg | 45 mg | ✓ Sleep Safe |
| 12:00 PM (Noon) | 233 mg | 181 mg | 141 mg | 109 mg | 85 mg | 66 mg | 75 mg | ✕ Above 50mg |
| 02:00 PM | 233 mg | 181 mg | 141 mg | 109 mg | 85 mg | 66 mg | 96 mg | ✕ Above 50mg |
| 04:00 PM | 233 mg | 181 mg | 141 mg | 109 mg | 85 mg | 66 mg | 124 mg | ✕ Above 50mg |
Cutoff Recommendation: Finish before 11:00 AM. Drinking a Bang Energy in the afternoon will ruin restorative sleep tonight.
Values are calculated using the standard exponential decay model: mg_remaining = initial_mg * 0.5^(hours / half_life).
How Your Genetics (CYP1A2) Impact Bang Energy Clearance
Over 95% of caffeine metabolism takes place in your liver via the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP1A2. Depending on whether you carry the fast or slow metabolizing gene variant, clearance times for 300mg vary drastically:
Residual after 8 hours: 75 mg. You clear caffeine rapidly and rarely experience insomnia from lunch beverages.
Residual after 8 hours: 109 mg. Standard biological decay rate representing ~50% of the population.
Residual after 8 hours: 136 mg. CYP1A2*1F carriers. Any caffeine consumed past noon will disrupt sleep architecture.
