5 Hour Energy?

[Darsa]

Okay, so last night I could NOT get back to sleep after I got up to use the "facilities". I woke up shortly before 1AM, and finally fell back to sleep at about 5:15... and I have to get up at 6 for work

Today as I'm waiting to pay for my gas (yay for old-fashioned pumps with no credit card slot) I saw the 5-hour energy display. Since I felt very much like a walking zombie, and still had half a day to go, I grabbed one to try. I don't usually do that kinda thing without researching fully, especially something I'm putting in my body!

HOLY HANNAH did that taste NAAASTY!!! Wow, I feel like I licked the inside of a dumpster, until I brushed my teeth (and tongue). Ugh... but I feel TONS better now! I think I'll even make it through the day without trying to tear someone's head off with my teeth!

I tried googling to see if there are any precautions, but didn't see anything in my scan. Anyone know of any reason why I might want to be concerned? Hmm, I sound a little paranoid, heh. Oh, and caffeine does not adversely affect me typically, I already checked on that aspect of it.

I use 5 Hour Energy all the time and have never felt an adverse effect. I love them so much. Usually I'm a Red Bull girl, but if I really need something to help me focus I use 5 Hour Energy: for work and for long drives at night (drove 2.5 hours home after a concert in the dark through corn fields, talk about needed something to stay awake and focused).
The taste, eh, I like the berry flavored the best. My brother "chaises" them with Gaterade normally.

Oh, just don't do 5 Hour and then drink a 12oz can of Red Bull...baddd idea...
