Title: Will drinking an energy drink before bed make me wake up sooner?
Post by: musica.cards on January 21, 2008, 11:18:31 PM
I need to wake up as early as possible for school tomorrow and I've got fairly powerful energy drinks.

If I can sleep while being excited about doing something in the morning, then I can sleep when I have an energy drink before bed.

Uh, no in fact that would have the opposite effect, they would make you stay awake longer. So, I guess you would want to get as much sleep as you possibly can at the moment then drink energy drinks during the day.

Wait, what? Why would it help you get up earlier if you drink it before sleeping? What put that crazy idea in your head?

I don't remember, but I heard somewhere that drinking caffeine and taking a nap (as the source said) will result in a short nap, but one that's twice as powerful (as the source said).

Also, I once did have some sort of Starbuck's coffee thing before bed and I woke up just a few hours later, feeling fully rested. I tried it again and it made me wake up far later.

that means it either really doesn't affect me at all and that was just normal or it can cause you to either wake up early or late.

You would actually probably stay awake until the time you actually wanted to get up, then crash and fall asleep and not wake up until like 3 pm the next day.

Energy drinks are shit.

You got it all wrong. Energy drinks make you stay up. If anything, they'll make you sleep in because you'll be up really late. If you don't have an alarm clock there is really nothing you can do. Right before bed, tell yourself to wake up at that time, it works for me most of the time  :) Then just go to bed and see if it works

I'll try that again next time, but in the mean time, the only reason I asked was to see what you guys had to say about it.
