    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?

    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’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

    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.

    Number 4 is unfair. It’s not for lack of trying…

    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.

        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.

    There is another way, but it’s a pathway to abilities some consider to be unnatural…

    This is mostly accurate. (Except for the fact that coffee and energy drinks need to be switched.) 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 thats too only because I just like drinking coffee.
