Swap coffee and energy drinks. Energy drinks are def the most braindead of the bunch—I know, I used to buy them.
Also where is the “100mg adderall” option?
Primatene (ephedrine) OTC baby
Considering most people consume coffee, I think you should reconsider
But Energy drinks are way worse. They’re basically only sugar (at least most of the big ones).
I like my C4’s for pre-workout, but they’ve got some kind of artificial sweetener I’m assuming
I really did try to use pre workout powder and I hated it because it’s too sweet at that time of the morning.
Cup of black coffee is the best pre workout. If you really want some energy, smash a banana too.
It’s a weird one, cause coffee is the most default, but energy drinks are more braindead
The last one is plain cheating
I get 8 hours of sleep almost every night. I can tell you I don’t feel well rested any day
I get between 7-12h a day. I still don’t feel restet.
Consistency and quality of sleep are also important factors, but so is your diet and the times you eat.
Feeling well rested after a night of sleep requires much more than “8 hours sleep”.
I sometimes have the feeling that I’m only getting REM sleep.
Of cause that can’t be true, but I don’t think it’s thaaaat far off.
Just curious, what makes you think you’re only getting REM?
Speaking as someone dxed with narcolepsy, a sleep disorder where you get a disproportionate amount of REM. There are a lot of conditions–sleep disorders and otherwise–that can cause excessive sleeping and daytime fatigue.
Not to say that it isn’t sometimes just a matter of sleep habits or consistency, but my advice is that it can’t hurt to speak with a doctor about your symptoms if you have the chance. :)
Well it can also be the case that I just have a very good dream memory, but I noticed that I can relatively easaly drift into a dream while being aware of my environment even when I was fully awake before. Not always though.
I also can remember having 4-10 dreams in a night. Of cause we don’t only dream in the REM sleep so it’s kinda hard to keep track of how much I actually sleep.
I probably just have a pretty good dream memory and have a very light sleep
We’re the cool kids.
Yes, I am hip…

Clearly we need to be eating 100% chocolate to get 100% energy.
make it dark chocolate if you’re looking for dark energy. checkmate physicist
think that’s called baker’s chocolate
Wait, what’s this about 90% chocolate? I like chocolate.
Dark chocolate has some caffeine, but if you’re used to coffee don’t expect it to do much. 90% at least if you want any effect. I just enjoy it for the cocoa, never really notice the caffeine bc I’m used to a big rush from coffee.
Its the bitter that wakes in this case.
But maybe not 90%, it’s super bitter
I mean it’s not milk chocolate, but it’s tasty enough on its own. Really good if eaten with a cup of coffee.
It’s not like as bitter as the “Baker’s Chocolate” that you found in your aunt’s cupboard.
The most I can handle is about 70%. Even 80% tastes too bitter. But maybe I am too weak
I’m with you there. I love chocolate and am not really a fan of milk chocolate, but anything over 70-75% gets too bitter for me.
White “chocolate” is just blasphemy. Lol
Nah it’s just a matter of taste.
It’s bitter
Sounds like an Awake Bar maybe?
Come on op, what’s the other 10%??
Cocaine it’s always cocaine.
Sugar
There aren’t enough hours of sleep for me to go to uni for 8 hours, then go to work for 8 hours and not feel like a mess.
I see teenagers drinking energy drinks and I’m always thinking marketing really works on teenagers. Because those are the only people drinking that shit and they are also trying to appear “cool”. So easy targets for marketing.
I always drunk energy drinks bc of their unique taste that I liked at the moment. Never seen ads that were saying “energy drinks are cool” tho.
You never see ads saying “beer is cool” either. They just imply it heavily. Same with energy drinks.
In the US, that’s actually because of semi-voluntary regulations. In the EU and other areas, it’s less voluntary.
They can’t claim or imply that drinking will help improve your social status or sexual success. They also can’t claim or imply that it’ll help you relax or that the alcohol is a positive quality.
Basically, they’re not allowed to show someone drinking and looking like they’re having a good time… But they’re allowed to show one or the other.
Look at Monsters advertising :)
I used to order caffeine free Bang, then I realized my gut was doing backflips because of the sweetener.
I prefer a sugar free red bull to wake up first thing in the morning instead of coffee and I haven’t been a teenager for over a decade. It works better for me and tastes better. Its all just preference.
I sleep like 10 hours a day and I am still tired
I feel scammed
Oversleeping can also cause tiredness
If you’re serious, go talk to a doctor. There’s a good chance you have sleep apnea.
Have a light automatically turn on after approximately 9 hours. Waking up from gradual light is much better than waking up from sound.
I don’t have an alarm
I never said I had an alarm
Then you might be oversleeping instead
Number 4 is unfair. It’s not for lack of trying…
Have you tried not trying?
Where does staying awake by willpower fall?
Did not fit into the picture, way-way down
Caffeine pills
Intravenous meth
Can’t tell you the amount of times someone has acted astonished when I tell them I drink coffee because I genuinely like it—i just drink it in the morning because if I drank it later it’d keep me awake.
A lot of people drink it purely to stay awake and I do not get that. Get some caffeine pills or something.
I used to think that I was just great at finding ways to get enough sleep while staying up late on the weekend.
Now that I have an infant, though…
Funny enough, half the reason I’m not getting enough sleep anymore is just so I can have some time to myself.
Can relate
Two infants for me. This weekend I am alone in a hotel just to get some undisturbed sleep.
I can’t believe no one’s mentioned tea. I still drink coffee, but I’ve replaced my second cup of the day with a pot of green tea, and I’m really into it! For one, it lasts longer than a cup of coffee. And it’s warming in the cold months, and refreshing in the hot months.
Well, tea contains caffeine, so I guess they are being lumped together. I prefer tea because its easier on my tummy.
I like strong caffeinated beverages so I like coffee unless it’s yerba mate or something but I LOVEEEEE non caffeinated herbal teas a couple hours before bed.
On that note, I recently discovered valerian root herbal tea (don’t laugh (ok, laugh), but I like the one called “Nighty Night Extra”), and it gives me the warm drowzy fuzzies in my stomach.
I love an herbal tea at the end of the day SO MUCH. Sometimes I’ll be at a house party, and looking forward to going home and drinking my tea
I’ll have to I try it out sounds great!!
I love tea, too. So do you have coffee in the morning and then green tea during lunch?
Yeah exactly that. I usually bring the teapot back to my desk (office work) after lunch, and then pour myself little cups over the next hour or so.
Thanks!
Pleasure, treasure. I’m doing it right now! :D
Whenever I drink coffee or energy drinks I become more physically tired than I was before 🫡
That is typical for people with ADHD.
In my experience it’s a bell curve rather than just a depressant. Most adhd people I know need coffee to wake up in the morning, but crash if they drink too much of it/other caffeine products.
I have ADHD and have always just needed way more caffeine than most people. I usually have 20omg of caffeine two or three times a day when I’m working. I use those Celcius drink powders: zero calories with an energy blend. Meaningfully less caffeine than that in a serving makes me foggy. Red Bull 90mg of caffeine with sugar is molasses for my soul. I need 200mg caffeine with protein! I start the day with a meal, 200mg caffeine, 200mg CBG, and 300mg Welbutrin XL. I also have low blood pressure, and the caffeine helps me with that when waking up.
I can’t sleep after the coffee, energy drinks, and chocolate bar. This is a flawed plan.
