Summary
They described living with chronic fatigue, saying energy drinks gave them a boost but were like going into debt with energy, something they needed daily. They struggled with napping but lay in bed to daydream or scroll, which helped their body relax and repair, though doing it too long left them feeling blegh; after a night of sleep they actually felt rested for once. They were trialling energy-drink-type supplements: a B-complex vitamin, taurine, caffeine pills and guarana with tea. Onset, duration and overall outcome were not given.

I've noticed it helps my body relax and repair. It does leave me feeling blegh if I do it too long, but then after a night of sleep, I actually feel rested for once.

I am actually in the process of trying supplements you find in energy drinks. A b-complex vitamin, taurine, caffeine pills, and Guarana with some tea.
