[c.to_]

So, i could fall asleep last night and ended up sleeping at like 3 or 4. Then my phone rang really early at around 7, and i couldn't fall back asleep. I'm going to a high energy event ( a hip hop/break dancing workshop) and i really need energy for the day.

I'm hesitant about energy drinks because i don't want to crash after a couple hours.

ideas?

This probably isn't the best idea either.. but if the workshops still hours away, take some nyquil and try to fall back asleep?

Otherwise, I find that staying active while I'm tired gives me some energy.. workout?

drink coffee?

^ the workshop is in the afternoon, and i don't have nyquil, lol.

try one of those 5 hour energy drinks... i heard they work

or adderall

[asianpanthers]

doesn't adderall contain caffeine? but...i think that...after only 3 hours of sleep...the only thing that can save you is either meth or EXTREME ENTHUSIASM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take a power nap (15 minute nap). It works wonders for energy levels.

you can go to max muscle and buy some d4 thermal shock. (seriously!)

Oh you beat me to it. 5 hour energy! Lol. My friend is a dealer in vegas and he says he takes it sometimes and he says it works. Another friend says it works and no crash either. My bf bought one for when we were driving home from vegas (or was it when we went to monterey..) but hasn't taken it yet cause he says he's scared. Lol.

Personally, I would never take Nyquil for any other reason but a flu/cold. That's just me. I guess i'm just a goody twoshoes when it comes to messing with medicine.

drinking caffeine before working out isn't good >_<
5 hour energy i heard is pretty good, like theres no huge crash after
vitamin B pills help too (well for some people) and i mean they're not bad for you since they're just vitamins and their supposed to boost energy
eat lots of carbs to get you food energy and what not.
eggs, bread, apples help i think

i only slept 2 hrs last night
i drank a can of monster java this morning (8 ish)
i work all day and it lasts me until about 7pm when i go to home
then around 9 i crash..

can u tell i've done this before?

If I got little sleep, I sip at energy drinks all day. If I pound one down my body freaks out for the first few hours then crashes. I have found that if I continually sip on them throughout the day, I will have a steady flow of caffeine. (I end up only drinking 1-2, but take all day to drink them.)

[nobody knows]

I only got 3 hours of sleep the day before I have a 6 hour intense volleyball camp

all I did was get pumped up like crazy and not concentrate on how tired I was
(too scared to try anything like energy drinks x_x)

don't lose concentration or start daydreaming during the event or you'll crash

heh depends how much you take. it can be good in moderation because of the free fatty acid mobilization (encouragement of fat metabolism). just depends what your goals are.. obviously too much will cause your heart rate to go way up.. but that's what usually happens when you work out
