","text":"The reason Hot Cheetos keep you awake is because simply eating something wakes up your body, especially something that you enjoy eating. You can get similar effects with (low calorie) chewing gum, (low calorie) hard candy, and sunflower seeds. The most potent of these three is the sunflower seeds. You also want to eat one sunflower seed at a time. The point is to eat for a long time and not to finish in 10 minutes. I use these three (and coffee/energy drinks) as a “tool” only, meaning that I do not consume them just because I feel like it. I use them whenever I am starting to feel fatigue or sleep setting in. I use them in a particular order of strength. So sunflower seeds will be the last one I’ll be using.\n\nThe very last method I use, which is mostly for all-nighter driving, is to plan for 1 to 1.5 hrs of sleep. You pull into a rest area or even the shoulder of an off-ramp or on-ramp, and then you go straight to sleep. No fooling around on your phone. You put your alarm (with two more safeguards), and you go to sleep."}

","text":"Yeah, I too am tired of Monsters. I can barely tolerate the taste now. I’m not sure if it’s because they’ve changed the taste or because my body is tired of the same thing over and over again. Right now I’m just buying and experimenting with zero or very low calorie energy drinks. They’re some pretty good ones out there. I like the Rockstar fruit punch zero, but I have a feeling that if I drink it every day, I’ll come to hate it, so I rotate my drinks and coffee, so I hopefully won’t get tired of them too soon. "}

{"replyToPid":0,"replyTo":"","text":"The cause for that can be many things:\n\n**Eating big meals.\n**Not getting enough sleep.\n**Driving at a time when you would normally be asleep.\n**Starting your drive very early in the morning, and then 2 hours down the road the sun starts coming out. This can cause sudden fatigue. There’s a scientific explanation for this, but I don’t remember it.\n**Driving at night, or driving the graveyard shift.\n**Not having your mind occupied whether it’s music, listening to something, having an interesting thought, etc.\n**Not drinking coffee or energy drinks."}
