Does it really work? I got up @ 7:30 this morning and I plan on going shopping for Black Friday very early, to do most of my Xmas shopping. I don't plan on going to sleep and I have to work @ 10:00 AM (hence why I'm going out so early). I've never drank coffee, does it work?
I'm not really a coffee drinker either, I started drinking it a fair bit since I started work in the Restaraunt, but I've stopped drinking it now, it definatley works though, If I have a coffee one night, I wont be able to get to sleep till like 4.00am.
I've tried every energy drink known to man. ****, at grad night, I had 11 monsters. I thought my heart was goin' to explode for the next 3 days.
Coffee saves my life everyday. I get up at 5am everyday and have to drive an hour to work. Without coffee, I would've been in a deadly accident by now.
I don't like the taste of coffee. Caffine isn't the greatest for you. I don't wanna be like those millions of zombies who gulp down coffee while they ride in their metal coffins to the office. In a jam, I'll drink a red bull, and they work.
This is just my experience with it, but it depends on how often you intend to stay up. Energy drinks are better for like random occasions here and there, where you need to stay up longer. Coffee doesn't work the same way. The first few times I tried to use it to keep me awake the effect was barely noticeable and I hated the taste. The more you drink it, the more effective it is. I've been drinking coffee like twice a week since school started this year and it works better than energy drinks for me. On Tuesday, I drank a large coffee from Starbucks at 9 AM and it didn't really wear off until 6 AM Wednesday. Saved my ass and my essay.
On the taste: If you're just starting to drink coffee, don't drink it black. Buy a Coffee Mate or International Delight creamer. Makes it taste alot better.
After working at Tim Hortons, I've grown to hate the smell of coffee, timbits, donuts, french vanilla and basically everything else that was sold there. Personally, I hate coffee...I used to try EVERYTHING at work and coffee was the worst beverage we had (in my opinion). But damn, people are REALLY addicted to it though. I remember there was this one guy who'd come by to the store atleast 3-5 times during my 8 hour shift alone and get an XL coffee. I actually perfer bagged teas (like Green tea) or even Steeped tea over coffee anyday. But, to answer your question, it works, but I think it works more if you keep on drinking it rather than spontaneously drinking it once in a blue moon.
I drink coffee sometimes in the mornings and occasionally at night if we have company and there is some more left. Of course I load it down with cream and sugar but it doesn't seem to get me more energized, just unable to fall asleep for several hours. At work I drink Redbull when I'm feeling shitty since it actually gives you a shot of energy, today I drank 2 since I had to be there at 8 and it was nuts all day.
Coffee didn't seem to work very well for me, It just made my heart beat like crazy. I felt like something was wrong, my body was pumping adrenaline or something. I would only drink it black, and man is it bitter. I thought it would be like a sleep replacer, but eventually I'd crash anyways. Coffee makes me think I don't need sleep, but I do.
<div class="quote_poster">Shard Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">It does. I can't wake up for work without it.</div> Co-sign. I'm dependent on coffee in the mornings, if I don't have a cup before 9am I'm a tyrant.
Do 20 Press ups as soon as you're awake that should wake you up I try to stay away from coffee, but I don't dislike it's taste
Another one is to take a ridiculously cold shower. Our water heater broke for a couple weeks and I never had any problems staying awake during class the entire time.
wow, didn't know there are people who don't drink coffee. i don't know anyone who doesn't drink coffee
Wow, I never realised there were so many coffee addicts around! Personally, I'm not a big fan of coffee, I don't really need it to keep me focused in the mornings. Instead, I just wait a couple of hours until I'm fully out of my sleep. Does coffee really work? I didn't realise it makes your heart beat faster etc... It does nothing for me. I drink it like once every 3 months.
