{"replyTo":"","text":"Do not consume caffeine keep your tolerance low so that it can work when absolutely necessary. I find having any sort of caffeine tolerance makes me tired without it, even when I have it. But in a weird way that doesn’t let me sleep when I’m in bed trying to get rest. This way though when I need it it really gives me that kick.\n","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Put a rock in your boot. Put the boot on and when you start getting drowsy SLAM your foot on the floor. Guaranteed to wake yourself up. Lmao. Just kidding. Crack a window n get fresh air in the cab or keep a wet towel with you n wipe your face n eyes. It's refreshing. If nothing works then stop n take a nap. ","replyToPid":0}
