I woke up at 3 in the morning due to thirst and just boiled some hot water cause I was sick yesterday and did not want cold water on an empty stomach.

The time it takes for boiled water to cool depends on various factors, including the initial temperature of the water, the surrounding room temperature, and the container it's in. Typically, hot water will cool down to room temperature within about 30 minutes to 2 hours. However, it can vary widely based on the specific conditions.

It depends on the material the container is made of and temperature of the surrounding area. Rough estimate would be 1.5hr to get to surrounding area temperature

About the same as a cup of tea

Depends on the container and the air temperature.
