Fun fact, caffeine has a half life of 3-7 hrs, after that the positive effects fade and you are left with all the negative(jitters, dehydration, fatigue, depression…) but it will be an average of 5 hrs. so to alleviate this you should only drink half the caffeine you would normally consume in the morning and half about 3-5 hours into your shift, or Probably far less than that given how much caffeine people drink to avoid the above mentioned symptoms, also drinking plenty of water and try magnesium and exercise too ensure the caffeine moves out of your body before the symptoms kick in, or consider switching to a natural alternative like cocaine(That last bit was a joke don’t sue me)

Caffinated beverages don't dehydrate you. Yes, caffeine has a mild diuretic effect, but it's not enough to negate the water in the beverage.

Well technically it’s particles reducing osmotic pressure but the remedy is drinking water and that’s a tad bit harder to explain.
