Tea! Black and green tea don’t have as much caffeine as coffee but there’s still caffeine, and tea is great for you

Seriously, though, prioritize sleep. Enjoy that black tea. Put a little milk in it. Heaven.

Green Tea?
You can also try eating fruits or even juices

Diet coke!

Quick walks. Get up and move

Thank you all for the advice!

Take a walk outside in the sunlight after lunch if you can

Lots of water!

Advocare spark is amazing !!!

What’s that? ^^

Red Bull

Caffeine gum

Matcha! It is supercharged green tea. Unlike coffee, the caffeine in matcha releases slowly and is more steady so you don’t have dips in energy
