depends on the day......

On mondays usually need an iced coffee at least. Get up at 8am for class and end at 7pm. 6 hours of class total so some breaks at least. After class I usually go watch the second half of MNF with some co-workers.

No, I don't have much trouble getting through my days if I can find things to keep my interest.

When I was in high school I had a job for a couple hours afterwards and I would get so tired. It was an office job and one of my duties was data entry and I fell asleep more than once at the computer doing that.

No, energy drinks don't really do it for me for some reason. I had a Rockstar Coffee once, which got me wired for an hour, and then I felt sick afterwards.

I used to drink NOS to keep awake during my security graveyard shift. I fell asleep just about 1/4th of the time. No matter how much sleep i had, NOS was the only thing that could keep me up. Forget about Red Bull and Rockstar and all that other BS.

It really depends on how early I have to get up that day. On days I get up at 6 to get to school (8:30 class with transit taking an hour ftl) I definitely need something caffinated to get through the day, I don't know how I'd do it otherwise. On the average day though, not really.

You guys should listen to your bodies and take that nap if you need it. Nothing is more refreshing than sleep. You're destroying your bodies with all those drinks.

I need coffee to start my day but thats all t he caffeine I need.

Sometimes, if I am really tired, I might do an energy drink or (ideally) an afternoon espresso, but that will totally mess up my next couple days.

Despite me getting as little as 1 hour of sleep some nights, I never drink coffee or energy drinks and maybe I never will. I just bear through it.

I prefer to avoid caffeinated beverages as often as possible in order to prevent caffeine from having little more than a placebo effect when I really do need it.
