If you’re super sensitive—like, you can feel the excitement from a nearby tea bag—then sure, be mindful. Stick to one cup and don’t chug it like water. But for 99% of coffee lovers, decaf is your nighttime best friend. It gives you the ritual without the risk. It’s the friend who says, “Let’s hang out, but I’ll leave before things get crazy.”
So, does caffeine-free coffee have caffeine? Yes, a little bit. But it’s about as impactful as a whisper in a rock concert. Pour yourself a cup, add a splash of milk, and stop worrying. Your sleep is safe. Your taste buds are happy. And that tiny speck of caffeine? It’s just along for the ride—a polite, sleepy passenger on your cozy evening journey.
