I'm running on empty again right now, and have another month of this kind of pace to cope with yet.

I need something besides caffeine to keep me going. Have you ever tried the 5 hour energy shots?

I'm careful about taking any kind of pick me up. I would suggest trying to get more sleep if possible and making sure you're eating right. I have not tried the 5 hour energy shots and doubt I ever will. I find with anything like that I have such a big down afterward.

Any of the so-called energy drinks and products can produce a rather severe backlash when they wear off. I would try increasing the amount of protein and complex carbohydrates in your daily diet, especially in the earlier parts of the day.

I remember I tried something when I was working a ton of doubles a couple of years ago. The after issues I had made me never want to touch the stuff again.

I will drink coffee for a boost on rare occasion and it is just a one day thing when I do. A whole month? I'm with the rest of them here. Stay away from the energy drinks. A month on that would lead to a big crash for me.

I know that sometimes you just cannot avoid the over work and in those cases you just have to do what you can. Keep your nutrition good, rest when you can, and exercise can help for a quick boost. The five hour energy are way better than energy drinks for you.

I think really other than decent sleep nothing will really get you through this time. None of the things most do can last for that length of time without having some wear and tear on the body and maybe the mind too.
