Half life is 6 hours (approx), amount of caffeine per drink is variable (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0278691507000762) .
I think I read somewhere that the body processes caffeine quite quickly and pees it out, so the whole "no coffee after lunch, otherwise I can't sleep" thing is a red herring/psychological.
