I think I've drank more cans of Red Bulls in the past 2 weeks from all those all nighters I've been pulling compared to 3 years in university - to the extent where I've probably downed around 5 cans per day since coffee doesn't seem to work well on some days. Just trying to get things done on time is a bitch when the perfectionist attitude strikes.

As a result? I've been having a bit of the shaky hands syndrome, especially when I try to speed things up when trying to cut things with huge and heavy scissors and occasionally I feel something tense up somewhere in my hands or arms when I played billiards last night. And of course, pretty bad skin lately from lack of sleep.

So my question is, to what extent have you had the need to turn to coffee (or energy drinks) to get things done?

Now that I'm done with work (until after another few weeks), I'm making up by ditching all forms of caffeine (no lattes for me for a while) and sleeping to make up for lost rest hours. But of course, sleeping properly regularly in bed instead of just dozing on the couch would help.

I know a guy that has heart problems because he used to drink like two energy drinks a day. He's 19.

Yeah, which is why I don't recommend downing energy drinks on a daily basis. They're filled with weird stuff.

I only drink Red Bull only when I'm in dire need but if I can still take it I won't drink any as much as possible. Each can shortens your life. LOL! But the truth is I drank one cup of coffee everyday for two weeks recently and my hands began shaking. Maybe I'm not used to it 'coz I never drink coffee.

I just trick myself by walking into the "Spider Closet" and it scares me awake.
