Delicious anxiety juice.
Here’s a /c/dullmensclub thing I learned lately, staying hydrated will give you more energy. So I’ve been doing cups of tea with a pinch of salt for the electrolytes and then sip on water in between. The hell of it is it works but my adhd ass will forget and I’ll have to rediscover this simple shit if I can’t at least habit stack it.
Although staying hydrated will keep your energy levels up, tea has caffeine in it, too. As long as you’re eating food once in awhile, you don’t need to worry about electrolytes.
I’ve been doing well with herbal teas too, my lemon blend pairs decent. I add sugar to all my teas as well so I barely taste any salt.
Edit: Your question gave me a new question because I do intermitting fasting. Went down a rabbit hole and it turns out I’ve probably been giving myself low sodium levels for a while and therefore lower energy levels by intermitting fasting. I still think the pinch of sodium in teas can help a variety of situations but do so at what you think is best for your health.
What’s /c/ here?
Communities, or cliffs (cuz lemmings)
Same as r/ in reddit
Because caffeine doesn’t work that way people. If you are already tired the coffee will NOT make you more alert it just prevents you from becoming more tired for a short period.
When you drink coffee and feel hyper or more awake you are feeling the effects of the sugar. If you don’t use sugar, you are feeling the placebo effect.
DRINK WATER
Correct on how caffeine works, but sugar doesn’t cause hyperactivity, that has been disproven. It’s likely because caffeine is a stimulant so it’ll make your heart beat faster so you might feel more hyper.
As you said, water is very important as well. Dehydration can make you feel sleepy!
That’s only sort of correct. It’s only true if you narrowly define hyperactivity as some very specific condition. The studies clearly say that people can experience a “sugar rush” after consuming sugar. The problem is that “sugar rush” is exactly what most people mean when they say hyperactivity. Hyperactivity as in activity that becomes hyper. Hyper as in “above or excessive”, activity as in “doing stuff”. So, “doing excessive stuff”.

The studies clearly show that the sugar rush myth has been debunked. Having more sugar doesn’t make people hyper or give them more energy, in fact a meta analysis links sugar to a higher level of fatigue and less alertness
Your meta analysis link is about mood, and not energy levels. I know in layman’s terms most people conflate the two, but this is a scientific paper so they’re not the same. And your other link is an article by someone mixing medical terms with layman’s terms to come up with something incorrect. This is why people are losing trust in science, it’s because of stuff like this where people misinterpret scientific results to try to get as many views as possible.
You know people can easily do this experiment for themselves right? In fact, I do it most days at about 2:30. As my blood sugar drops after lunch and I start to get tired and unfocused I will often have a piece of fruit or small piece of candy. Do you really need a scientific paper to see there is something askew with what you are saying? If so, here is your scientific paper:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3820066/.
The sugar snack condition was associated with significantly higher tension after 1 hr, and a pattern of initially increased energy and reduced tiredness, followed 1 hr later by increased tiredness and reduced energy.
Pretty sure consuming carbs makes me sleepy.
You’re not alone, studies show that sugar will actually decrease energy and alertness
Hence the well known sleep aid that our grandma’s used to give us before bed, bowl of sugar.
If I vape some weed and drink a coke zero it’ll usually result in a panic attack. Still did it like 15 times, I am very smart.
I guess that works for those who caffeine perks you up. I drink it to calm down and relax.
For me, there’s a uniquely difficult to find and ever changing line between not caffeinated enough to notice and “oh my god why is everything buzzing now I can’t think straight” when it comes to caffeine. Doesn’t matter if I’m drinking coffee, tea, or any other caffeinated drink. One sip too much and suddenly my ears are twitching uncontrollably, my heart is racing, and I can’t focus on anything productive. One day a cup of coffee is the sweet spot, the next day it’s two. Day three a glass of tea will throw me for a loop.
Coffee does absolutely nothing to me. I believe everyone saying it has any effect are all in on one huge joke that I’m not in on. I can pour a little down my throat and there in exactly zero change.
Beta blockers allow more caffeine intake
I almost always drink 32oz of black coffee a day. For more than a decade that seemed to be perfect.
As of late I’ve found however that I’m still tired and end up slipping an extra cup in.
Drinking coffee is not just for getting refreshed, right?
Worse, you get more tired
