The time it takes for the body to eliminate one half of a caffeine dose is normally between 3 to 12 hours. It is called the half-life of caffeine. Several factors can shorten or lengthen the half life of caffeine. Smoking, medications and diseases are some factors.
How Long Does Caffeine Stay in the Body? In most cases, caffeine has a half-life of about 5 hours (meaning 5 hours is needed to eliminate half the coffee amount). However, it might take longer â for instance, a pregnant woman might have caffeine in her system up to 20 hours after she ingests it.regnant women need to consume less caffeine for the sake of the baby. Between 150 and 200 milligrams is considered safe in most studies, but many doctors recommend pregnant women avoid caffeine altogether. Thatâs because no matter how long caffeine stays in the body of the mother, it might stay even longer in the baby.
