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
Cocaine 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.
Do you snore?
Depends, I have allergies and during peak allergy times for me I usually get very congested. So during the yes, I found something this season that help clear my sinuses really well and ended up getting some pretty good sleep. And then other factors of course, such as if I’ve drank or yadda yadda
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
Ok, now you gonna tell me that dark chocolate is made of dark matter?
think that’s called baker’s chocolate
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 don’t take pills unless I get them from a vetted dealer.
You dont take the gas station mystery pills?
I only take floor pills.
Have you considered decaf?
999 👿 ABOMINATION! 👹 666
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
Maybe they drink shitty coffee? A good coffee tastes great
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
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
Number 4 is unfair. It’s not for lack of trying…
Have you tried not trying?
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.
Sounds like an Awake Bar maybe?
Come on op, what’s the other 10%??
Cocaine it’s always cocaine.
Sugar
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.
There is another way, but it’s a pathway to abilities some consider to be unnatural…
Are you a sniff lord?
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.
I contemplated the order a little but then decided to focus on the punchline
I get enough sleep. I still feel sleepy all the time
I should go see a doctor, but naaah
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.
Strictly speaking, it’s not just about the time but also about the quality of sleep, so gotta get that right, too
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.
If only sleep made me rested
That’s why I no longer sleep
man, i wish
buddy i get like 10+ hours of sleep, it does jack shit.
Oversleeping can cause fatigue as well
How about we stop pretending that “well rested” actually exist?
It does exist, it’s just not the easiest thing to achieve, especially with what is expected of most people for work.
It is also a constantly moving goalpost that our body never quite figures out. Some days 7 hours of sleep is fine, others you need 10, and your body is really bad at telling you which days need certain amounts of rest.
In my experience, keeping a steady pattern both weekdays and weekends helps to that end. That’s easier said than done, though.
Sleep apnea? Or possibly just too much sleep
Do you need a multivitamin? B complex? Helped me
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.
Maybe schedule an annual checkup and have them do some bloodwork. You never know but it helps to catch things sooner
have had bloodwork and basic heart/breath check done as part of another investigation and i’m like exactly in the middle of the range of healthy values.
Do you exercise regularly? Some light cardio in the morning really helps me throught the day.
i guess i’ll have to try forcing myself to do that, problem is that it takes me hours for the bone-deep lethargy to bleed away, and before that i can only just about haul myself into my computer chair
Yea i know that feeling its tough to push past forsure, if i ever find a way past that ill let you know lol
As a father of a small child, I feel personally attacked by the last point.
Same, but I also know it’s my own fault because of revenge bedtime procrastination.
And it is our own fault because of unprotected sex with the aim of reproduction. Nonetheless.
Bro, there was so much unprotected sex with the aim of reproduction that I became physically and sexually burnt out by the time we achieved it. My wife and I didn’t have sex again until my daughter was like 10 months old, and it the frequency only began to normalize over the course of another year or so - maybe longer. I remember we were worried for a bit that it was a bad sign for our marriage or something, especially since it was primarily me who was struggling to even want to, but then suddenly my daughter started sleeping through the night and my wife and I started banging again. Completely restored my sex drive. I’m certainly not fucking like I’m in my twenties anymore, but I’m relieved that unprotected sex with the aim of reproduction didn’t permanently kill my boner. Unprotected sex with the aim of reproduction is a blessing at first, but be wary, travelers…
I’m glad your boner is back, bro.
You’re lucky, my sex life stopped when we got a kid, even though the conception was basically a one-shot
Huh, is it how it’s called?
Stage 5: get a baby and stay up all night listening to the wailing
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 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.
