Caffeine an its effects on the body
Conjecture
I think that the caffeine will fully leave my body around 20 hours after I consume my first caffeinated beverage. At the rate at which around every two hours at least 10% of caffeine would leave the body. Around 10 hours is when I predict about half the amount of caffeine is still in your system
Caffeine Facts
- For most people 32 - 200 mg of caffeine acts as a minor stimulant.
- The steadiness of hand worsens after 200 mg of caffeine.
- More than 300 can produce temporary insomnia.
- More than 400 can cause panic attacks, in panic disorder patients.
- 5 - 10 g ( 5000 mg - 10000 mg ) causes death
- Caffeine is eliminated from the body is 13% per hour.
Graphs
Drinks 1 & 2
Drink #1 represents the red line which is consumed at 7 am. Drink #2 represents the blue line which is consumed at 4 pm. After consuming Drink #2 around 6:00 am is when you will stop feeling the effects of the caffeine. The person was sleep from 8 pm to 6 am, which really means that they stop feeling the effects once they went to sleep.
Drinks 3 & 4
Drink #3 represents the orange line which is consumed at 7 am. Drink #4 represents the black line, which is consumed at 1 pm in the afternoon. You would not stop feeling the effects of the caffeine because the person soon consumed another drink soon after Drink #4 and that would make its caffeine level raise back up
Drinks 5 & 6
Drink #5 is represented by the second red line on the chart. That drink was consumed at around 8:45 pm. Drink #6 was consumed around 8 am. You will stop to feeling the effects of Drink #5 around 5 am if you were not to go to sleep. Drink #5 is consumed right before bed, so the person goes to sleep from 9 pm to around 7 am.
Graphs explained
The caffeine will never fully leave your system. I would have half the caffeine in my system around 1:00 pm on the second day of the experiment. It takes about 31 hours for the fist half of the caffeine to dissipate out of my system. It would approximately take 62 hours for all of the caffeine to get out of my system. The graph also shows how many drinks I consumed in a 3 day period. It also has the amount of caffeine consumed and how fast the caffeine dissipates at a rate of 13%.
Equations
Equations Explained
My equation show the amount of caffeine in my system times .87 which is how much caffeine is kept in my system after every hour. The exponent of each function changes because that has to do with the time each new drink was consumed minus the time of the previous drink consumed . The last part of the equation restricts the caffeine levels to a certain time period.
