Question by rob y: Will an energy drink make me crash tomorrow?
Tomorrow is the first day of my junior year in high school. Basically I have to wake up at 5:45 in the morning and the earliest I’ve waken up this summer is at 9. I’m planning on being tired out of my mind especially since I’m probably not going to sleep until 11 or so because last night I tried going to bed early and I couln’t because I’ve stayed up so late all summer. My question is, if I drink an energy drink tomorrow morning will I crash during the day and become tired?
Thank you for your help.

Yes, you will crash during the day. The energy comes mostly from caffeine, which will only get you “up” for a couple of hours. My advice is to try to go to sleep early again, maybe you’ll be more successful tonight.

Yes, you’ll crash sometime during the day. Likely in 2-4 hours because the caffeine and sugar will drop you within 1-2 hours, but the ginseng and other energy boosters that most of them have let you go for a couple more hours…. either way, no matter which one you use, you’ll crash while you’re at school unless you keep moving (and/or keep your adrenaline going).
If you just force yourself to wake up early and be up most of the day, you should be dead tired by the time you want to go to sleep, so you should be able to get a good night’s sleep the next night. Just make sure you stay away from caffeine, sugar, and exercise for at least 3 hours before you want to go to bed. Good luck!
