Default Does Redbull Improve YOUR concentration?

As mine is slipping

I'm writing my Thesis, and after 100 pages my progress is slowing down. I find myself feeling really sleepy at the keyboard even though i've had plenty of sleep. Tried some excersise which does help, but it's not good enough!

im with the other guys, if your not used to caffine then its cool to use, if your like me and drink a average of 4 cans a day aswell as venti tripple shot coffees then im afraid it aint gonna work

charlie dont give me a buzz anymore unless its REAL class gear and ive put that down to too much of a good thing over the years and maybe my caffine addiction too

i cant operate at work without a coffee/redbull, infact i cant get out of bed unless ive drank a coffee ,,,,,, anyone who knows me will confirm and i await the piss takes from my mates about how bad i treat my bird as she gets out of bed at 6am to wake me up with a coffee but its cause i have issues thinking in the morning and i forget things

In the US, they have a drink called Rockstar. It's twice the size of Redbull (483ml, rather than 250ml) and is about twice the strength!

2grams of Taurine per can!

Taste is stronger so you can chuck silly amounts of vodka in it and not realise it

Haven't ever seen it available here, but its got to be available somewhere

Yeah i used to drink that Rock start in the US lol. Though they do have the same drink over here now just rebranded. Only just come into the shops last month or two.

TBH i find red bull is ok if drunk in large quantities and soon as the hit comes it wares of making you feel worse.

steer clear mate. good sleep (like you said you do) healthy diet/ lots of water and little bit of exercise is only way to keep your concentration up at a good level.

i tried all sorts at uni in my final year and its the only thing that works. energy drinks just give you a little lift and then major lows. drink too much and your always going to the loo! and i was always thinking about have i had enough - is it going to last me - etc! seems like even at a peak my mind was never properly zoned in on the work i had to do!

never tried the coca tho!
