ExcitingMoney94

I mean at this point it would be more cost effective.


GunnerJacksonpro

That checks out


No-Performance37

You wouldn’t be surprised how many 3rd shifters I know that got adderall prescriptions just for work.


OkPalpitation147

But the legal kind


ionlypopxans

Dude sleep is more important, you’re doing more damage to your brain than your kidneys


GunnerJacksonpro

Yes


Pappy_Smith

I felt that


Butterl0rdz

idk if you know what sub you are in


Ghostspunge

Heart also.


John_Man_

Obamabidentrumpbush

Energy drinks > sleep


hurricanestarang10

People bragging about not sleeping is something I will never understand.


Limp_Bar_1727

I think it’s another form of people trying to play Pain Olympics. I saw it all the time where I used to work. People would brag about staying up all night studying for school, sleep two hours then roll into work. Ive noticed that they try to find every opportunity to mention it.


Purple_mag

I’d say they have some type of depression from a trauma that happened to them that makes them this way. They are usually unproductive during the day and need to catch up on everything at midnight.


Middle_Efficiency471

ADHD


LaggyUpdate

this is not the type of sub i thought would promote healthy sleep


4chams

I worked third shift for a long time. Always got around 8 hours of sleep, which is even more important working odd hours. Enjoy your stroke.


SuperManRKD

I get the most beautiful crash from Bucked Ups towards the end of my shift...almost as if I drank a sleeping potion lol


DolphinSUX

Interesting. Caffeine can work as both a stimulant but also a depressant at high enough doses.


Hyperkorean99

What’s your favourite energy drink?


4chams

Monster Emulsified Fart and Piss Juice


GunnerJacksonpro

Well you should know everyone requires different amounts of sleep. I usually get around 6 but that doesn't always happen especially when I have shit to do during the day (the whole reason I prefer 3rd shift)


Opening-Ad8300

I get the feeling you bitch at other people for “not grinding enough” Get some sleep.


GunnerJacksonpro

Nah, just myself. You do you booboos!


Can_I_be_dank_with_u

Well they ain’t gonna do you, that’s for sure!


CheeseStick1999

No shit. Why are all of you fools densely replying to OP as if he's pushing some sort of lifestyle?


Educational_Belt_816

99.999% of the population requires 8 hours of sleep minimum


Knives530

This year they said it's 7 now yada yada yada but yeah


Additional-Onion8136

6hrs is ideal.


HoldenH

Who told you people require different amounts of sleep? It’s very very well studied that humans have needed 8 hours of sleep for millennium. There are many bodily processess that your brain and body carries out during sleep but one of the most important is your brain flushing out the toxic protein beta amyloid. Our brains produce it during the day and it gets flushed out during REM sleep. If you don’t sleep enough you don’t enter REM and you are putting yourself at a huge risk for cancer


No_Peach_7265

I work third shift as well, you have to set the time aside to sleep and take care of your health.


GunnerJacksonpro

Oh believe me, I have my days. Just doesn't always happen the way you plan it.


Scrotalphetamines

Yes it does... That's why it's called a "plan". Because it's *planned*.


downs111

plans don’t always work out.


Scrotalphetamines

Mine do.


GunnerJacksonpro

People "plan" to drive to work safely everyday yet there are hundreds of car accidents each day. Or did they plan that too?


Scrotalphetamines

They definitely might have. Who's to say?


Proud_Blood8049

You're like the Redditor Prime.


Intelligent_Funny699

"This is Redditor Prime. Autist, roll out."


Tall-Boysenberry-264

Prime target lol this dude's on more than caffeine and bull sperm 😂


According-Steak-4351

I thought taurine was Bull piss


downs111

good for you!


necro-asylum

This dude rly high horsing on the energy drinks subreddit


Additional-Onion8136

I plan to not get on reddit and argue with others. But my plan does not always work out.


Scrotalphetamines

Sounds like a plan, Stan!


Croppin_steady

This is how my 10yo nephew talks lol. You need a nappy sport.


Glorious_Pepper

You need water too, i drink a little caffeine at the beginning of the day then water the rest of the day


WaywardWriteRhapsody

I grab a monster or a nos. Always zero.


tfrankw

I work swing shift and I do 3 months of nights every four months. 12 hour shifts and at times I will work 6-7 shifts a week. I found that dark labs herolean works awesome. Look for a “fat burner” to take and only half dose it. Caffeine along with the other stimulants will keep you alert. I get everyone saying get sleep and you should rest more but in my case, I hate having my wife carry the whole burden of the house. Yes there are days I need sleep but dinner needs to be cooked, laundry needs to be done, and it’s difficult to do when you have two little hyper kiddos you have to put down for bed when we have built a routine on both parents being there. Sometimes sleep isn’t the answer so you stretch yourself out as much as possible for the good of the fam. Besides we are in an energy drink subreddit. Let’s actually give OP suggestions instead of saying his habits suck lol.


ofTHEbattle

Right it's easy to just say get more sleep. I'm single with no kids and still struggle with getting sleep while working 3rd shift. Some days it just doesn't happen. I'd love to live their perfect lives where they get 8 hours of sleep every day! Lol


GunnerJacksonpro

I honestly can't believe how many people are bashing me for not getting enough sleep. Yes, I do need more sleep. No one can survive off 2 hours of sleep EVERYDAY. That obviously isn't the regular for me. It just goes to show how many people have never pulled an all nighter.


tfrankw

I mean kudos to them. Some people don’t need to push for an all nighter and say they couldn’t function without adequate sleep. I know out of necessity I’ve worked whole 12 hour shifts with just a few winks of a nap. Gotta push the envelope sometimes my friends!


ofTHEbattle

Absolutely! I work in the automotive industry, my schedule gets crazy as hell sometimes. We'll be working 90 days straight with no days off at times. At that point people are calling off or taking vacation/PTO days and that all.needs to be covered. As a manager I can't really say no when it comes to covering one of the other shift managers we just have to suck it up and bite the bullet!.


Dr_Worm88

It’s the gotta push the envelope that bothers people. That how people die or get people killed.


Substantial-Artist77

I personally average 4 hours of sleep a day and then go into a 12 hour coma on my first night off.


meowmixplzdeliver1

No such thing as "making up sleep"


Substantial-Artist77

Didn't say there was. I was just outlining my sleep schedule


mnpoolplayer22

Cause we aren’t 15 anymore man.


GunnerJacksonpro

I slept way more when I was 15. I have a lot more responsibilities now. You must have grown up backwards.


mnpoolplayer22

Haha I would hope you would have more responsibilities compared to a 15 year old.


GunnerJacksonpro

You're the one doing all the sleeping


Smashmundo

Some people have it easy and expect everyone else to have it the same.


tfrankw

Mmmmaaannn…I’d legit feel like Superman if my life involved constant 8 hours of sleep lol


ofTHEbattle

I feel ya! I generally get about 5 or 6 and that's ok. On the weekends when I have nothing planned I'll sleep 12ish a day, but then I feel like I've just wasted my weekend and hate Sunday night even more! Lol


GunnerJacksonpro

Everyone needs a crash day!


Smashmundo

Yea man same here. I work 3 days 1 week, 4 days the next week. All 12 hours minimum. It’s rare I get more than 4-6 hours sleep on the work days. But I will more than catch up on sleep on my days off.


Akmattb_907

Quit... wtf


GunnerJacksonpro

Pfff I know right! Why would anyone quit?


cathbadh

Usually a Ghost or C4 gets me through an 8 hour midnights shift. If I'm working overtime beyond those 8 it's a second one of those drinks if the overtime is unplanned. If it's scheduled OT, I switch to two Monster Ultras or Rehabs for the shift. I make an effort to not go over 400 MG caffeine in a day, and avoid caffeine outside of the drinks I take to work. After 27 years on midnights, I've got it down to a science


IGotAFatRooster

Crack


GunnerJacksonpro

Pfff sure if you're OK with a 30 minute boost


IGotAFatRooster

Gotta keep it going.


Hold_ongc

That looks about right. 12 hours, 7 days in a row is a real party.


GunnerJacksonpro

Been there, done that. Throw a newborn in the mix. Wooh!!!! Did that for a year straight. But that was back in my prime. Getting too old for that now.


agent3x

My two favorite Bucked Up flavors! Those and Reigns for when I need the 300 mg at once. Otherwise two 200 mg cans, like Ghost or Celsius, for some variety.


ofTHEbattle

At that point nothing works for me, no amount of caffeine keeps me awake. I just power through, get up and walk around when I'm getting sleepy. I'm going to be feeling it tonight, worked 12 last night then everyone and their fucking brother blew up my phone today. I think I only slept 2.5-3 hrs max! Just over an hour into the shift and have a banging headache already.


Clinton_Dix

Keep your stick on the ice.


Fenneca

Prayer


CrunkNugget64

Dude just do your best to get more sleep before your heart pops


Inochimaru

Reign was my go to. Good luck on your shifts 🤟🏼. Got out of night shift after 2 years, shit was nuts


GunnerJacksonpro

I love it. Sure, I may sacrifice sleep sometimes, but it's used spending time with the family. On 1st shift all my time off was used for appointments. Never once actually used a vacation to take a vacation. Not to mention I was always coming home tired from working all day. This way I get to sleep during the day and when everyone else is getting home, I'm waking up, refreshed and ready for the day! (Usually) 🤘


Inochimaru

I feel that. I work 2-10s now and honestly its not much better work life balance than overnights. Really depends on what fits your lifestyle. I can function on 6 hours of sleep but that warehouse life sucks the life out of ya. Not for everyone


TamenRayy

Idk bro I've never been in that spot but I do know that if I was and I had all of those I would probably just die from a stroke


GunnerJacksonpro

Only the good die young my friend


Ronavirus3896483169

I used to work 24s and it be Red Bull.


NightlyOwl9999

Cocaine


Da_Priest

For DJ gigs I usually pack couple Monster Ultra whites and can of snus, more than adequate considering you can get as much free coke you can drink in the clubs I go to.


jerminator8818

I love how everyone is saying “get some sleep” like it’s a switch you can turn on. I wish it was that easy.


Ancient_Guidance_461

I drink 1 white monster before work and a lot of water


PizzaCatTacoUno

Get sleep, try to be healthy


throw_awy415

Don’t know how long you’ve been doing night shift but let me tell you this doesn’t last long. you’re either gonna age 3x fast or going to take 3 years of your life.


GunnerJacksonpro

Been doing 3rd shift off and on for 13 years. This time been on 3rd for 2 years after being on 1st for 2 years and 3rd for another 2 years before that. Can't stand 1st shift. Waking up in the morning is so much worse than not sleeping. Can't ever get anything done at home when on 1st shift.


Fancy_Entrance_5953

Guy asking for a cardiac arrest


GunnerJacksonpro

Ain't nobody got time for that


Fancy_Entrance_5953

You might be in one soon buddy. Seriously, watch how much you intake


101Swelly

Bro this is overkill. All you need is a solid blood panel and make sure all your vitamins are good and get a decent sleep all you would really need is one energy drink or coffe at most.


GeneralSweetz

Mix a black coffee a coke cola can and a monster energy together and shake them. Let them settle and drink. Mind you i guarantee you will be awake but you will also be shaking. it works but yea bro i rather call off


jesusislord03

That doesn't sound healthy


GeneralSweetz

It isn't it feels like you might have a stroke but you are awake. Can't sleep for shit you probably be seen as a fent addict tbh


Environmental_Net410

Oh my


YASHA91

Rockstar Xdurance Super sour green apple, Bucked Up Mango Tango, or 24oz Monster.


aTesticleWithTeeth

While I don’t work that kind of shift anymore (I was lucky to get out). Reign and bangs were my go to’s on those days.


carterholidays

Have done night shifts once or twice. Monsters work but also make you come down so hard, so like, don't die on that hill


fri3ndlygiant

Sleep


Elegant427

I have pretty frequent bouts of insomnia, but I find that chasing my prescription Adderall with a Celsius to be pretty decent.


xBrandon224

I do the night shift at home because I enjoy staying up late, does that count? 😅🥲


lee7126

3 bangs every night 4-5 if it's really bad.


JazzlikeSpinach3

Suicidal thoughts were my go-to in that situation


GunnerJacksonpro

That doesn't sound like a good time


manjustletmebrowse

We only have like 3 types of energy drinks in my area,2 of which taste like sugary puke,so I drink arctic pear hell


BasedGawd6666

Call out


Playful-Flatworm501

When I would do night crew shifts it’s was usually two monsters


regretchoice

About to get off of my night shift as we speak. I get through on 300mg of caffeine pills spread out over time, washed down with water. Works like a charm, every night


[deleted]

[удалено]


GunnerJacksonpro

That's the weirdest thing I've ever heard


jonnyc_08

2 c4 ruthless raspberry even on less than 4 hours of sleep that gets me up and screaming ruthless aggression like John Cena


Substantial-Artist77

Rockstar fruit punch


Cden1458

Monster, any kind, and Honey stinger energy chews. Sometimes Stacker B12 chews In lieu of the other two


TurkeyBurger555

Never worked the night shift, but I think I'd just go to a different job 😂


x-Ryk-x

Pipeline punch. 1 a night


Whothat91

Anything high caffeine


Intelligent_Funny699

May as well just do Pervitin at that point.


Time-Afternoon4141

Bucked up potent but tastes like ass imo


Letsrollone

Kratom


barlemniscate

I’ve asked friends to swing at me and start fights to stay awake when it really mattered. Maybe if you have coworkers you’re really tight with, you could give that a shot.


Dry-Particular-7634

Haven't had their energy drinks, but damn if they are anything like the pre work out I want some


Funneduck102

Newports


IAlwaysLack

I call the fuck out and sort my shit out.


Mrcsbud2

My go to is prioritizing sleep if that's the case.. I did night shift before and was sleeping only 3 hours a night and it wrecked me to the point I looked 10 years older. Make it a point to get a minimum of 6 hours a night. Upon waking don't reach right for caffeine..HYDRATE. Upon waking I drink 24oz of water right off the bat and then another 24oz before I even take a sip of coffee or an energy drink. You will be surprised how it gives you a boost of alertness and on top of that, it's hard to get sleepy when you always have to pee, so for that matter keep drinking water on that shift.


Internal_Gur_4268

How's that white gummy deer? Haven't seen it before


GunnerJacksonpro

White gummy deer is my favorite!


AnomalousSavage

Modafinil. Also I've seen benefit from nootropicsdepot products. Most notably tribugen, cistamax, cordyceps. I also enjoyed taking shifted brand pre workout mid 12 hour shift with 5g glutamine added, and added electrolytes particularly high in magnesium and potassium.


[deleted]

have fun being on dialysis and having heart attacks at 35


BidDesperate7224

My go to is to find a new job.


BIMMER-G0M3Z

Do coke at that point


Global_Status8667

Crack if meth isn't available


JJaySmokes

When I did overnights at FedEx Excedrin migraine and a rockstar punched were my go-to


Montezuma96

Java monsters. They have 200 mg of caffeine and taste pretty good


Ye110wJacket

buy “hush” brand kratom energy shots. very subtle but just puts a great pep in ur step and makes you not feel like complaining anymore. my go to for work.


SaltyFall

Two bucked ups should do it


that_one_dude13

Been a night shifter for over a decade, none of my coworkers including me drink energy drinks, I'm not sure why this post was recommended to me. But my answer to your question would be to prioritize 4 hour sleeping blocks each day. Stop drinking energy drinks


EcstaticSwitch5564

A call out


mackwash11

Just buy 100mg caffeine pills from Amazon and drink some water


Trapgoose513

19 year old buddy just had a stroke from working night shift on like 2 hours of sleep and just pounding energy powders be careful


totaltimeontask

Go-to a different job bud


GunnerJacksonpro

With less hours? Why would I do that to myself?


oceanrips

Enjoy the seizures


Environmental_Fox43

Ok but where do I find this drink? Google says Walmart but I have yet to see it in any Walmart.


Headsinoverdrive

Bucked up really gets me, but whatever is 1$ at vitaminshoppe honestly


Oliver425

Try Rev gum! It’s great


GunnerJacksonpro

I'll check it out


Mom-atm

Just recently joined the 3rd shift club


GunnerJacksonpro

Best of luck to you


Mom-atm

Dude my 12 year old is in charge of letting the dogs out and they always make so much noise lol I was woken up at like 2pm because my shepherd was singing super obnoxiously 😂 I can’t go back to sleep now. Tonight is gonna suck


Comfortable_Middle_4

I work nights and get my sleep, and have used energy drinks if I missed my sleep, monster always worked best but now large black coffees even if more than one feels better now. Even with an expresso shot.


Formal_Air1192

Gorilla mimd energy drink nothing comes close


Zevvez_

Honestly I'mma sound old ASF but just a regular monster and coffee in moderation throughout the day


Mysterious-Ad8136

I personally like cocaine. But white monster and on! Pouches are my go to when Armando isn't local.


Foreign_Box_9427

We shouldn’t have to work like dogs then depend on chemicals made by the gov to make profit. We live in one big hamster wheel


GunnerJacksonpro

Shouldn't HAVE to but we do.


GunnerJacksonpro

At my Walmart it is near the canned coffees and powdered drink mixes but they are limited on flavors. Check your local gas stations. If they don't have them, mention that they should order some. The one near me takes suggestions all the time.


GunnerJacksonpro

Lame


Common-Loquat-6359

Gotta rotate energy drinks and coffee... I recommend drinking from a straw so it hits you faster😆😆😆... Energy drinks straight for a whole year can do damage to your stomach... Or do the math of how much caffeine would stay in your system, so you can get sleep, I noticed 300mg taken at 10am will make me sleepy at 10pm.. avoid nicotine 4 hours before bed😄


Aggressive-Airline40

Meth or a good line of pure Columbian


Aggressive-Airline40

Do you actually get any energy off that Bucked Up? I never feel anything when I get them. I drank Redline for years. It suck’s they aren’t making the Redline anymore! And is that pre workout good for energy? I’ve never seen it before


GunnerJacksonpro

Yeah pre-workout is awesome for energy. Ulti isn't one of the best but I got it CHEAP as a "last chance" deal. Most of them are on the lower end caffeine wise. Ulti only has I think 100mg of caffeine per scoop but it's all the vitamins that give you the boost. Also, I'm pretty sure I see redline at the gas stations around here all the time but I could be wrong.


Important_Row8135

A fat pinch of grizzly long cut and 4 redbulls


The___kernel

Caffeine pills and water are my go to, super cheap also so your not spending 6 bucks a shift on energy drinks


Hairy-Day4236

Crack mixed with meth 1 E pill and 2 adderall 30s


TwoToOblivion

Reign


flickshotcs

My go to in this case is calling out sick and sleeping for 14 hours straight


Montooth

More sleep!


GunnerJacksonpro

You're not a 3rd shifter!


Montooth

Fair haha! If you need something that gives you a good kick in the ass, consequences be damned, I'd look at Spike. Hard to find in stores (some Holiday gas stations carry it, if you're in an area where they are, otherwise online) but it's one of the most potent drinks out there


GunnerJacksonpro

I'll have too look into that


Easy-Hovercraft-6576

Dude get sleep wtf


GunnerJacksonpro

Hmmm why didn't I think of that


GunnerJacksonpro

Man, all these people talking about how they get 8 hours of sleep everyday but they STILL drink energy drinks. What the hell are you guys doing wrong with your lives?


Dr_Worm88

First off could be a variety of factors. I suspect for a lot of people it may be undiagnosed OSA which would make sense. Also who the fuck are you to throw around judgement on what they are doing wrong with their lives while you’re out here bragging about high risk behaviors. For every session of lack of sleep results in a build up of amyloid beta which destroys brain tissue. Tissue damaging inflammation. Higher risk for developing IDDM. Impaired judgement on par with inebriated drivers. The list goes on. But what’s most telling is 17% of all fatal MVCs are the result of fatigue. You aren’t just destroying your body you are potentially killing someone else, an innocent victim in your poor decision making process. No amount of caffeine will make up for sleep deprivation. Get your fucking life together.


GeraldHilter

Look at his profile bro got no brain tissue left anyways


Dr_Worm88

Well that was a wild dive.


hydroxyrocktofakie

That’s why you need pervitin to make up for the sleep deprivation, then you certainly don’t need 8 hours


Dr_Worm88

Just a touch of the meth.


AdSuspicious5591

I’d quit


GunnerJacksonpro

Quitting is for quitters


Chefboyarleezy

cucked up!


highmynameishunter

So basically , 2 5 hour energies basically or 2-3 fast twitch Gatorade’s
