Default 5 hr energy shot

I'm sitting at work and I'm really sleepy. Drank some coffee but it doesn't seem to help. Has anyone tried 5 hr energy shot? Does it work?

Amphetamines work too. An attack by enraged monkeys will also perk you right up. I've never seen anyone nod off with a troupe of screaming Macaques descending on them.

I've used them before and I didn't feel like they did much. Maybe a little.
I dont think energy drinks in general do much for me, personally.

Other people swear by them, and the 5H Energy more than most.
Everyone's different.

Being nocturnal like myself, it is hard to adapt to the "normal" time schedule. I usually stay up later every night until eventually I find myself awake 1 hour before I need to leave for work. So then I just "pull an all nighter" and go to work without sleep. Those 5h energy things have worked great in this situation, they really take the scatter brain feeling away for a little while. I usually drink half and then the rest an hour or two later. My only complaint is the damn fake sugar. I HATE THAT SHIT.

^agreed, i don't like the fake sugar taste so much either.

i think they work...for me personally. i don't think any other energy drinks work (monster, red bull, amp), but i've had a few 5 hr energys and they perk me right up.

they work great for me...I buy it by the case at Sams. I drink one a day after lunch. the taste is OK......the pomegranate ones taste the best IMHO. I cant stand those red bull on other energy drinks because of the taurine and other crap that is bitter to me... I just pour the whole deal into the back of my throat and swallow it all in one "shot".....


they work great imho....the niacin boost is awesome and there is ZERO crash
