I find that coffee wakes me up way better than energy drinks, even when there is more caffeine in the energy drink, and the effects also seem to last longer. Is that a thing people can experience? Or is something wrong with me and/or I’m imagining it?
Someone can correct me if what I’ve heard is totally stupid and wrong but, what I’ve heard is that caffeine doesn’t “give you energy,” it merely suppresses your body’s ability to feel tired. That is to say, it won’t make you more energetic than when you’ve got enough sleep.
