    fun fact: the brain can build tolerance for caffeine very fast(days to weeks) to the point that basically all regular caffeine consumers have to have their regular dose of caffeine often at specific time of day just to be just as awake as they would be if they didnt have any caffeine. so caffeine only really helps if you take more than your normal daily dose irregularly(~every 3ish days at most on average)

      I cut back from daily energy drinks to daily morning coffee and my effective energy doubled. Then I cut back from daily morning coffee to once a week or less single serving caffeinated drink, and my energy effectively doubled again. It definitely does more harm than good used regularly.
