To do so, aim to consume less than the estimated values above. Knowing the quantity of caffeine in each of your Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce Latte is a helpful way to start.

2. Pacing

Try spacing out your Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce Latte with enough time in between to adequately process the caffeine and be ready to move on to your next cup. We recommend 1-2 hours between each cup.

3. Hydration

Staying hydrated is one of the best ways to fight feelings of over caffeination. We recommend consuming 2 fluid ounces of water for every 1 fluid ounce of Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce Latte. A 2:1 water to coffee ratio is perfect for staying hydrated.

4. Caffeine Half-Life

It can be hard to resist going to get another Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce Latte. Your office and coworkers, an easy drive through, or that feeling and rush of another cup can influence us to get another cup.

Caffeine has a half-life of 4 to 6 hours. This means that up to 6 hours after consuming your Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce Latte, half of the caffeine from that drink is still in your system. Even further after that, it will take another 4 to 6 hours for the caffeine to be reduced by another half to a quarter of the caffeine in your system.

If you get a Short (8 fl oz) Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce Latte with 75mg of caffeine at 12pm, you can expect 37.5mg of caffeine to still be in your system at around 4-6pm (half-life), and 18.75mg of caffeine to still be present in your system between 8pm and midnight (quarter-life)! No wonder why we aren't getting any sleep. And that only covers the smallest size. Significantly more caffeine can come from larger and larger sizes.
