this. . .

. . . is no fun. Whatsoever.

Mr Dave

have you tried taking a short nap?

Is that allowed at your job?


I find a 5-20 minute nap makes everything right in the world...if you can sneak off somewhere and just close your eyes. Maybe an empty office?

Most people are cool with it, too (your boss or whomever).
I'm assuming you don't monitor nuclear power plants or anything important...

I drink these from time to time, and like em.... They work well to get rid of that groggy feeling in the morning.

I did learn that these little energy drinks have a small percentage of alcohol in them used as a "mood stabilizer" So, be careful if your a cheap date!

What are the side effects?

Ive had them a couple times and still yawn. I think different people have different reactions.

Works great for me! Wakes me right up when getting tired on long drives. Feel it immediately.

5 hour energy is ok for a mellow pick me up, but if you want a real kick in the pants, try a couple scoops of NO XPLODE (stirred, not shaken). That should have you bouncing off the walls and kicking people in the face.

eh, not so much, it's the worst tasting "energy drink" i've had by far

Barbary apes (Macaques) are easily obtained on the Rock of Gibraltar or in their native home of North Africa. A roll aboard suitcase will hold 2-3 adult apes. And some fruit plus a small net will fill the suitcase in no time at all. You'll want to wear some heavy gloves. I find that these Barbary apes are superior to the run of the mill Macaques that you'll find in rain forest settings suggested by another helpful poster. The hot, dry climate seems to make the little Barbary rascals a lot more aggressive towards people. Keep them in a small cage. Don't feed them well. And poke them with a stick every now and then. When you feel yourself nodding off, just fill your pockets with fruit and wear some shiny stuff then open the cage and voilà. Instant adrenaline rush. Getting them back in the cage is your problem.

PS - On the flight home, if your aircraft crew seems to be getting a bit sluggish and you fear they're in danger of nodding off, just open the overhead bin and unzip your suitcase. The monkeys know what to do to keep you safe. There's nothing like a plane full o'monkeys to keep the flight crew bright eyed and bushy tailed. Of course at this point, you've probably lost your monkeys and you'll need to start over again.

Doesnt work with me, just gets my HR up way too high. Plus, it's all bull anyways. I can carb load with 25g's of carbs pre-workout and still have more energy than that provides.
