What energy?
Want to avoid the dread afternoon slump? Then skip that energy drink, suggests a study in Human Psychopharmacology: Clinical and Experimental. An hour after lunch, researchers gave 10 healthy, sleep-deprived adults either a high-sugar, low-caffeinated energy drink or a similar-tasting zero-carb, decaf beverage, then subjected them to a monotonous 90-minute test that assessed sleepiness and ability to focus.
Those who downed the energy drink were sleepier and less focused 50 minutes after consumption than those who drank the sugar-free drink, suggesting that the sugar rush had a soporific effect. If you have to beat the sleep, a higher-caffeine, low-carb drink may be better, say the scientists. How about a siesta instead?
