Mixed results. A pot of black tea spread out over the day seems to keep my head clear, at least usually. A can of energy drink or a mug of coffee frequently does nothing or indeed makes me fall asleep. It's all a bit hit and miss.
I find that tea, especially hi-caff tea is better than energy drinks, but energy drinks are easier and more convenient.
My non-neurospicy friends can't believe how much caffeine I drink. It seriously don't work the same for me as it does for them.
Have you tried L-theanine pills?
