Time of day is an issue. I'm 55 and I have 4 a day and NONE after 4pm.

You can also google to see what the average 60+ sleeps. It's not a lot.

that is correct, you will need more and more. it is a stimulant

problem is as you get older GABA drops. so you will have a tougher time sleeping and it will drastically shorten your lifespan. you cannot take gaba supplements to offset this, you must wean off caffieine.

try finding out why you drink that much in the first place.

Quit cold turkey! After 1 week, 1 cup will have same effects as when you started. Caffeine is a nasty drug

Yeah, caffeine in general is tolerance building. Quitting for a while will reset you.
