Why dont energy drinks work on me?

The caffeine in tea and coffee works differently on you, tea tends to be mellower and longer lasting, coffee is more of a brute force kick, with massively strong blends available 
None of these things are magic potions, past a point caffeine makes you feel increasingly grimy and wired, not prodcutive.

Tea doesn’t give me any energy at all. I love it cause it tastes good

Drink a large cold glass of water instead.
I drink cold water all the time
I’ll try the coffee I have now first and I’ll try that out thank you
thank youOriginal post by GlockInmyRari
I prefer unsweetened. But adding sugar and milk is okay as long as you don't add too much sugar.
Ok thanks. What does it mean when it says strength 3?

I only had like two sips of each and it’s only 2. Well tbh I didn’t drink redbull today. So 2.
Why would you expect an energy boost from drinking two sips of a drink?

Ok well I drank more than that. Maybe 4 big sips. I know it’s not good for my diabetes but I’m kinda desperate right now. Now I’m trying coffee and I’ll wait 20 mins for it to sink in otherwise I’m gonna be upset all day

I don't know. Where does it say that? I'm guessing it's the strength of the coffee. It will have a stronger taste and contain more caffeine. If it's your first cup of coffee ever, you probably wouldn't like too strong coffee. It's probably 3 out of 5. In that case it should be fine.

Why do you have low energy? I think you should speak to your GP to get some advice. Drinking four energy drinks when you have diabetes sounds like an extremely bad idea.

There’s no point cause I’m not lacking in anything. I’ve had a blood test. Ok I’m lacking in vitamin D a little bit but I’m taking something for that. Tbh my diabetes isn’t poorly controlled and it won’t effect my blood sugars. I don’t know why I have low energy. I sleep for more than 8 hours.

Naw don't worry. Just because caffeine doesn't work for you, doesn't mean there is something wrong with you.

but nothing works. not water, not sleep
I can’t focus on my workOriginal post by GotASecret

I can’t focus on my workOh that sucks. I have that too sometimes.
Have you tried music? Often when i can't focus i put on my headphones and listen to the same song on repeat. I pick a song that i know really well, cause then it doesn't distract me. Sometimes it works and helps me to not get distracted for hours.
I don't know what work you have to do, so i don't know if this is an option, but i also tend to focus more easily late at night.

Music only works when I already understand the work and I’m just copying something from a book. But it doesn’t work when I’m trying to understand something and learn. Unfortunately!
oh I just fall asleep at night
and say I’ll just do it tomorrow morning but never do

What does?
What works for me? Nothing lol, and I can't drink coffee so I am yet to find anything that does.

I heard that being 'sugar high' doesn't exist and that it's simply a placebo effect.
Makes sense, maybe people are just so happy to be eating sweet things that they mistake their own enthusiasm for sugar-induced highs.
