No energy drinks for me, I don't like them. But I just load up on the caffeine. In the mornings I drink my tea, but when I get tired at night I have zero coke. It doesn't work all the time though. I'm getting some no-doze tablets today to see how they work

If your really having trouble staying awake take berrocca tablets the ones with teh stuff red bull and v have. They have less sugar and tehrefore are better for you then the energy drinks. I dont recommend using these on days before exams as some people after taking stuff to stay awake crash really hard when they do sleep.

I used to to 6pm to 6am shifts and i used them to stay awake and active :)

what about taking them 1/2 hour before the exam?

would that help improve your performance during exams? especially the 3 hour ones

caffeine, and the other stuff they put in it are mental stimulants as well as physical..

so if you take it half and hour before hand your brain should be in top gear during your exam..?

1. dont use no doze to study, you crash, real bad. i used them for 4 weeks before trials, not good when i stopped. i was taking anywhere from 3-10 tablets in a night, they just make you FEEL awake when your body is really tired.

2. same goes for energy drinks, guarana is just a natural source of caffiene. and a few other things.

3. best time to study is when YOUR body is most awake. ie if your a mornings person study in the fucking morning, dont do it at night. im a night person. i can stay up till the wee hours of the morning no problem, i was using no doze to stay awake TOO long.

HOWEVER if you are going to a rave but dont like drugs no doze = the shit.

oh and DONT USE NO DOZE PLUS....i think i came down hard from lack of sleep AND suffering withdrawl symptoms from the nicotene....but it was a fun party weekend ^ ^
