In the field, one thing I carried for a quick energy rush (like before a deliberate attack or a raid) are dextrose cubes, can't remember the name, that my mother would pick me up at a German shop in New Braunfels and ship to be by the large boxfuls. I'd chew 3, 4, 5, or 6 of them, and they quickly give you an enormous sugar rush that usually lasted long enough for the entire operation; if not, I chewed more of them.
Nowdays, they can't even make a dent in the sleepiness caused by Invega. Neither can energy drinks. I use Nuvigil (normally prescribed for narcoleptics). Two will keep me alert from about 7AM until about 2 PM, they take an hour to kick in, and when they wear off, it's sudden and accompanied by a wave of sleepiness and severe depression. Guys, never develop a psychosis for which you have to be treated by medication! And have your sleep robbed of quality by osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia -- a new diagnosis that explains a lot, but sucks! What a nasty lot of genes I inherited -- sometimes I think my parents were trying to make my life miserable BEFORE I was born!
Rant over.
