Will Decaf Coffee at Night Stop Me Sleeping?

Why Dreamliner Decaf Might Be the Best Part of Your Evening Wind-Down

Sunday evenings have a certain mood, don’t they? A bittersweet blend of calm and creeping chaos. The emails start rolling in, your work brain starts switching on, and you’re craving the ritual comfort of coffee... but it’s 8pm. Is it safe?

Let’s clear the cabin air on this one: yes, you can drink decaf coffee in the evening. And no, it won’t ruin your sleep - at least, not if you’re choosing a quality decaf like our Dreamliner Decaf.

The Myth: “Decaf Still Has Caffeine, So It’ll Keep Me Up”

It’s true that decaf isn’t completely caffeine-free, but the amount is minimal, typically just 2–5mg per cup, compared to 80–100mg in a standard cup of regular coffee. According to sleep researchers and dieticians, this small amount isn’t enough to disrupt most people’s sleep, even if consumed just before bed.

What’s more, the Swiss Water Process used to decaffeinate beans (like ours) doesn’t involve harsh chemicals. It’s all done through water, time, and temperature, so you’re left with beans that are 99.9% caffeine-free, and 100% flavourful.

The Science Backs It Up

Recent studies show that drinking decaf in the evening doesn’t significantly affect sleep quality. In fact, some experts believe the mental comfort of a warm, familiar drink might even help you wind down, triggering a kind of Pavlovian signal to your brain that it’s time to switch off.

Of course, if you’re ultra-caffeine-sensitive, it’s always smart to listen to your body. But for most of us? A dreamy cup of decaf is nothing to lose sleep over.
