Clearly we need to be eating 100% chocolate to get 100% energy.
This is the way

make it dark chocolate if you’re looking for dark energy. checkmate physicist
nodimetotie@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Ok, now you gonna tell me that dark chocolate is made of dark matter?
Ferris@infosec.pub 11 months ago
think that’s called baker’s chocolate

I’m starting to think it’s physically impossible to get enough sleep to where your not tired when you wake up.
monotiller@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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
FrostKing@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
Shadowedcross@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Have you considered decaf?
FrostKing@lemmy.world 11 months 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

I don’t take pills unless I get them from a vetted dealer.
DicksMcgee43@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You dont take the gas station mystery pills?
nodimetotie@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Maybe they drink shitty coffee? A good coffee tastes great
Toldry@lemmy.world 11 months ago
There are disadvantages to caffeine pills:
- it’s a pill and feels more medical and unnatural than drinking a bean soup
- it’s easy to accidentally overdose and cause serious damage to yourself
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Wait, what’s this about 90% chocolate? I like chocolate.
name_NULL111653@pawb.social 11 months 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.
MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 11 months ago
Its the bitter that wakes in this case.
nodimetotie@lemmy.world 11 months ago
But maybe not 90%, it’s super bitter
pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works 11 months 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.
CheesyFox@lemmy.world 11 months 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.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You never see ads saying “beer is cool” either. They just imply it heavily. Same with energy drinks.

Lesrid@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I used to order caffeine free Bang, then I realized my gut was doing backflips because of the sweetener.
Holyginz@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
Omega_Jimes@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
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.

buddy i get like 10+ hours of sleep, it does jack shit.
LukeMedia@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Oversleeping can cause fatigue as well
MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world 11 months ago
How about we stop pretending that “well rested” actually exist?
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
yeah but how do i get out of bed when it physically hurts to even think about moving my pinky finger in the morning? i have to sleep like 10 hours for that to go away.
Kage520@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Sleep apnea? Or possibly just too much sleep
Microplasticbrain@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Do you need a multivitamin? B complex? Helped me
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
i mean i doubt it since my diet is very varied and contains a lot of both meat and veggies, but i guess i might as well try it.
rush@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I sleep like 10 hours a day and I am still tired
I feel scammed
MenacingPerson@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Oversleeping can also cause tiredness
Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.world 11 months ago
If you’re serious, go talk to a doctor. There’s a good chance you have sleep apnea.
dynamo@lemm.ee 11 months ago
If only sleep made me rested
WereCat@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s why I no longer sleep
dynamo@lemm.ee 11 months ago
man, i wish
anarchy79@lemmy.world 11 months ago
There is another way, yet is a pathway to abilities some consider to be unnatural…

newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
I get enough sleep. I still feel sleepy all the time
I should go see a doctor, but naaah
HubertManne@kbin.social 11 months ago
Im that way. I had a worker say I was like a lion. I can be intense and active for quite a few hours but I can only keep it up so long and then I lose it and its all fatigue.
nodimetotie@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Strictly speaking, it’s not just about the time but also about the quality of sleep, so gotta get that right, too
HRDS_654@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I will never understand people who think that energy drinks are better than black coffee…
bighatchester@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I don’t like the taste of coffee so I’d prefer energy drinks.
AnagrammadiCodeina@feddit.it 11 months ago
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
Lemminary@lemmy.world 11 months 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.
b0gl@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
99% of the energy drinks I drink are sugar free and contains like 3 cal a serving lol
mr_satan@monyet.cc 11 months ago
Never in my life have I experienced sugar rush. Always thought it was a myth, until my partner told me about the kids in her class. Apparently it’s real
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I don’t do energy drinks, but sometimes I need something sweet like Coke, over acidic coffee.
BaardFigur@lemmy.world 11 months ago
[deleted]Asafum@feddit.nl 11 months ago
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.
jdanim@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
I had skipped black coffee and moved temporarily to energy drinks during hot days. Not too bad, but yeah nothing beats black coffee.
Moc@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I love black coffee. Why not try a cold brew coffee? Making a batch in the fridge for 48 hours can make it really strong!
mr_satan@monyet.cc 11 months ago
Where does staying awake by willpower fall?
nodimetotie@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Did not fit into the picture, way-way down
SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
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.
nodimetotie@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I contemplated the order a little but then decided to focus on the punchline
droans@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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…
Jay@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago

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.

Whenever I drink coffee or energy drinks I become more physically tired than I was before 🫡
ivanafterall@kbin.social 11 months ago
I can't sleep after the coffee, energy drinks, and chocolate bar. This is a flawed plan.

LegionEris@feddit.nl 11 months ago
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.

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 11 months ago
But Energy drinks are way worse. They’re basically only sugar (at least most of the big ones).
Sigh_Bafanada@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s a weird one, cause coffee is the most default, but energy drinks are more braindead
