Didn't want to start this in the Cuz thread.
Yeah Coffee and No Doz et al have been around and abused for years, being a shift worker I have tried various methods over the years. These days it is the 1 can of Coke Zero on the nightshift for me.
And looking back over the years was the way I should have allways done it, kinda like this uppers for the game then downers so you can get down, just turns into a nasty spiral and there is no way you can say it is any good for the body.
You know what really gets me tho these days is these energy drinks and the new super size cans.
Seriously my mates son and his friend or friends 20 year olds come to the footy with us, on the train at 11:00 AM and they have these monster cans of energy drink before the day has even started. Yeah they're young and probs been up most of the night, same age I could make it on 3 hours sleep. I don't get this trend and it aint a good one. If you know anything about these drinks they are seriously bad in more ways than one.
And sleeping pills for later that is just crazy poo man. Eventually youll get tired enough and sleep even if it does take a week, like anything you can adapt and get though it, but these up/down methods are a scary trap man.
It's amazing they don't have a pill to stop you taking pills these days.
