    I never felt like caffeine did much for me. I would down a 2liter of mountain dew while studying in the evening and then go right to sleep back in college.

    This doesn’t really surprise me. I’ve noticed for a long time that an energy drink or other caffeine source hits different than a cup of coffee.

    When I used to work late at a nursing home, I’d sometimes have a cup of decaf for a pick-me-up (that’s all they had). Just the ritual and feeling that I was drinking coffee was enough to give me a small boost, even though logically it didn’t make sense.

    I drink a monster every morning and it barely does anything. Then again, I’m on drugs that make me sleepy.
