I’m super drowsy even though I had some caffeine. I’m drinking lots of water and eating healthy foods, but is there anything else I can do in the meantime?

How do you make yourself feel better after a poor night of sleep?

Edit: It went well! The director even said, “we should just hire you now!” However, I have one more panel interview. Time for a nap.

    What I do, I definitely wouldn’t recommend. It’s definitely unhealthy.
    If I feel weak and shaky, I’ll dissolve like 15 teaspoons of sugar in a cup of water and drink that. Then flush that down with extra water. Obviously only if I don’t need to go anywhere, otherwise I wouldn’t drink a lot of water.
    But maybe it’s not that bad. To be honest, I have no idea how much sugar is in regular soda.

      I don’t think that’s worse than soda at all, probably healthier because there’s no additives

      That does sound pretty terrible. While sugar can quicken you up in the very specific case that you’re literally acutely hypoglycemic, that’s also about the only reason to do this.
