  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?

    Considering most people consume coffee, I think you should reconsider

    • RobertOwnageJunior@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      But Energy drinks are way worse. They’re basically only sugar (at least most of the big ones).

      It’s a weird one, cause coffee is the most default, but energy drinks are more braindead

  I’m starting to think it’s physically impossible to get enough sleep to where your not tired when you wake up.

    I have a sleep tracker and it keeps saying, “girl, you’re the best at sleeping, getting the 8 hours, getting the REM, going to bed and waking up at consistent times, blood oxygen maybe a little lower than usual but if there was a sleep competition you’d easily be top 100!”

    But yet I still feel like death in the morning

  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.

    Have you considered decaf?

    • FrostKing@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I have drank it in the past, but there’s multiple other people who drink coffee in the house and I’m rarely the one to buy it. I also find that when I have to ability to drink coffee as much as I want throughout the day, I drink a lot of creamer and end up dehydrated XD

    There are disadvantages to caffeine pills:

    1. it’s a pill and feels more medical and unnatural than drinking a bean soup
    2. it’s easy to accidentally overdose and cause serious damage to yourself

  Wait, what’s this about 90% chocolate? I like chocolate.

  • name_NULL111653@pawb.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    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

    source

    • pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      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.

  I see teenagers drinking energy drinks and I’m always thinking marketing really works. Because those are the only people drinking that shit and they are also trying to appear “cool”. So easy targets for marketing.

  source

  • CheesyFox@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    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.

    source

    • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      You never see ads saying “beer is cool” either. They just imply it heavily. Same with energy drinks.

    Its 2 different things, one is a sugar rush the other one is caffeine. You could argue you could use them for the same goals but the calories you get from energy drinks are way more.

    If you need to run for miles, better the energy drink, if you need to drive, better the caffeine

    source

    • Lemminary@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      There’s no such thing as a sugar rush, it’s a myth. Energy drinks do contain caffeine in arguably similar quantities as home-brewed coffee.

      It all depends on the time you consume it.

      Caffeine fills the receptors in your brain that adenosine would fill, and that when filled naturally it tells your brain that you have been awake for a while and need to sleep. So caffeine really helps to prevent feeling tired.

      (A side note, but I think that it is so damn cool how that works: ATP, adenosine triphosphate, is processed releasing the “phosphate” part to be use in the energy cycle and the adenosine that is left over is kinda used like a record of how much energy you’ve processed, so after a while of processing energy you naturally have a way of saying “I should rest now.” Caffeine blocks that from happening for a while.)

      Sugar eventually is processed as glucose which is just straight up energy for your brain, so that helps when you’re already tired and need a kick in the pants.

      I’m just a nerd for science so I might have some of the details messed up, but from what I remember this is kinda how it all works.

  This is very accurate. I only need to drink coffee in the morning if I can’t sleep properly. On a regular day, I only drink some in the afternoon, and that’s also because I just like drinking coffee.

  My ADHD methodology involves getting good sleep (a lifelong challenge that took me more than thirty years to figure itself) followed by huge amounts of caffeine as zero calorie energy drinks to take the place of prescription stimulants. I also have low blood pressure. So I’m like a whole new person once I’ve eaten and medicated, but I need a long time to wake up and come around to my full performance level.
