Yeah, I agree Mikey 5 hour energy is GREAT! I just finished up PSD and waiting to go out with my trainer here at SprgMo. When I was PSD, I did most of the night driving and we had a whole bunch of 600-700 mile overnight trips. I was fine until that 4:00 am to 5:00 am "witching" hour and then I tried a 5 hour and boom, I could cruise right into the 90 for an 8 am appt feeling great!
First off, I used to be a 5hr junkie.........but I think you would be better off with a strong cup of coffee. I thought all that extra water (2oz vs 8oz ) was a big deal.....but now re-thinking that thought process. http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/energy-shots-review
what makes 5 hr energy for me better doesnt give u a crash . if you drink coffee like i do with alot of sugar your asking for it
Yep, your smart....in your situation it makes sense to go that route. As a new driver avoid that sugar at all costs, its sets you up for a whole host of health issues.
Actually, you guys are much better off with a 30 or 45-minute nap. While caffiene has its place... a so-called "energy drink" (caffiene and sugar) just sends your blood sugar skyrocketing, dumps a ton of insulin into your bloodstream to deal with it - and you are still fatigued.
And, according to the Mayo Clinic, there is no scientific evidence that energy drinks have a positive impact on your energy. Taking a nap and staying well-hydrated (meaning WATER) is far better for at the cellular level than any additive.
if im extremely tired i wont bother with energy shots but if its just a pick me up im good to go. i was working security over nite drivin site to site . i used to park at a site if i had extra time before my next site and catch some zZzZzZz. but beside that picked up a tyson load from arkansas goin to johnstown ny. waited 27hrs for fcc to approve our load so we could be on our way. hopefully testin for cdls next week. nervous as hell.
