    Here’s a /c/dullmensclub thing I learned lately, staying hydrated will give you more energy. So I’ve been doing cups of tea with a pinch of salt for the electrolytes and then sip on water in between. The hell of it is it works but my adhd ass will forget and I’ll have to rediscover this simple shit if I can’t at least habit stack it.

    Because caffeine doesn’t work that way people. If you are already tired the coffee will NOT make you more alert it just prevents you from becoming more tired for a short period.

    When you drink coffee and feel hyper or more awake you are feeling the effects of the sugar. If you don’t use sugar, you are feeling the placebo effect.

    DRINK WATER

      Correct on how caffeine works, but sugar doesn’t cause hyperactivity, that has been disproven. It’s likely because caffeine is a stimulant so it’ll make your heart beat faster so you might feel more hyper.

      As you said, water is very important as well. Dehydration can make you feel sleepy!

        That’s only sort of correct. It’s only true if you narrowly define hyperactivity as some very specific condition. The studies clearly say that people can experience a “sugar rush” after consuming sugar. The problem is that “sugar rush” is exactly what most people mean when they say hyperactivity. Hyperactivity as in activity that becomes hyper. Hyper as in “above or excessive”, activity as in “doing stuff”. So, “doing excessive stuff”.
