Greg Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 If I get sleepy when driving, I will take a deep breath and hold it in until I get dizzy. then repeat....while listening to loud rock-n-roll with cool air blasting in my face. Wow, tx. this helped a lot. I tried it in class today. way more effective then pinching myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motivation_Follows_Action Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 What's the consensus on power naps? Do those work for you guys? I kind of wish they were more socially acceptable.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lea Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 not for me -- if I take a nap I'll never get to sleep at a decent hour I think these 5-hour energy shots are giving me a stomach ache... Today I had 3 and feel totally ill and depressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL OMG GIRL!!!! yeah that's way too much 5 Hour!!! have you tried vitamin b12 under the tongue lozenges? most of those 5 hr type energy drinks have a shit ton of b12, you can get under the tongue b12, sometimes those are good for a little bump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lea Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 It's funny because today @ GNC I saw these B-vitamin energy strips... I'm definitely laying off the 5-hour energy except for maybe just one in the afternoon. They really make me feel toxic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts on power naps are hell freaking yes. I think I overdo my napping, but they can be really helpful in restarting your engine. I get what you're saying about them not being socially acceptable, because somehow it equals laziness to some people. Power naps or speed? I'll choose power naps.

quit-once Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 LOL OMG GIRL!!!! yeah that's way too much 5 Hour!!! have you tried vitamin b12 under the tongue lozenges? most of those 5 hr type energy drinks have a shit ton of b12, you can get under the tongue b12, sometimes those are good for a little bump. The sublingual B12 lozenges work well for me too. B12 is not absorbed very well in the gut but if you go straight from mouth to bloodstream, they make my hair stand on end! MFA - I like the idea of power naps IF you can keep them to a half hour or less. Since I have cut the carbs from my diet I don't get tired after lunch anymore. And who cares if they are socially acceptable? I have heard in Japan, they have these coffin-like cells you can rent by the hour for your power nap.
