(Mar 23 07, 09:57)I can’t drink caffeine because of this, haha.
People think I am always amped off of coffee and mountain dew, when in reality I have never drank coffee and drink ginger ale if anything while at work (besides water, haha).

I don't drink coffee or tea. I need alternatives (no coffee-like substances, please).
Ideas!

You really, really, really want to know if anyone tried Coke Blak eh?

________i heard that of the time you are tired .. your body is actually dehydrated.
i think it works to drink a lot of water

I drink 4-5 cups of water. I can't handle nor do I need lots though, since I'm a smallish person.

not anymore
wait..is it flavorful?

Jaline, pinching yourself in meetings sometimes works.
Or just jumping up in the air a few times, trying to bring your knees to your chest.
...
Maybe I’m just really weird, because I wake up like that sometimes and then walk to the mirror before I get there yell out, “Who is the sexiest person in the whole wide world!?”
And then I jump in front of it and start dancing and go, “THERE HE IS!!!!!!!”
Hahah, the sad part is I actually do something like the former every morning.

(Mar 23 07, 10:24)I think coffee smells flavorful.
Alas...

I actually like Coke Blak, tastes kind of like chocolate.
I never thought of making it at home, I'm gonna save about $6 a month now.
Jaline, have you tried something like Gingko Biloba or any of the herbal energy boosts? Napping works too sometimes.
- Jaline0
I really don't want to nap though. It usually takes me forever to actually get to sleep (even though I'm tired), and I don't think it's good for you in the long run.
I do have hot chocolate and chocolatey things, because there is some caffeine in there, but obviously not enough to make any real different.
I think I should try some sort of energy drink and see how it goes. I'm hesitant though.

if you're sensitive to coffee or tea i'd steer clear of energy drinks.
i had a friend who swore by bananas for energy, the high potassium apparently gave them energy.

(Mar 23 07, 10:44)bananas contain an amino acid called tryptophan which actually helps people sleep. just FYI.
