Do Energy Drinks Work? Well, the answer to that question depends on what you mean by "work." Humans derive energy from any food that contains calories. Put simply, calories = energy and therefore food/beverages = energy.But is there some magical formula in energy drinks that provides you with an extra burst of energy? Maybe, but it's probably mostly a side effect of caffeine and/or herbal additives like guarana.
If you need more energy, here are some more substantiated ways to obtain it:
1. Eat regularly (don't skip meals; try to eat every 3-4 hours; eat breakfast!)
2. Sleep well. Ok, college students, I know this is a tough one. You need sleep and you probably need more of it than you're getting. Try napping too!
