Pick me ups...

[northerncutie]

Can anyone recommend any natural, and legal product that i can take to stay awake? I've had yet another 24 hour awake shift, and refuse to spend my day off in bed! Caffiene products such as pro plus give me digestive problems, so that's a big no no. I have to pop into town shortly, so if anyone knows of any holland and barratt products available...

Buy yourself a bottle of rosemary essential oil. Mix a couple of drops into a spoonful of carrier oil (if you want to spoil yourself, get sweet almond or apricot kernel oil from Holland & Barretts, but standard veg cooking oil works fine). Massage the mixture into the soles of your feet and the palms of your hands. Cup your hands over your nose and take a few deep breaths.

This stuff really works wonders. I once took a bottle of the mixture to Reading Festival, one year when I was working as a gopher in the Welfare Tent. After 48 hours of non-stop drama courtesy of the disturbed, the drug-addled and the generally discombobulated, the trained psychotherapists I worked for were fighting over the dregs from my little magic bottle. *grin*

Thanks for that hun, but i was thinking more along the lines of something in table or liquid form, as i'm on the move. Must catch up with you at some point xxx

Something like

Guarana and perhaps taurine based stuff

I know the Boost Energy choccy bars have Guarana in it... and I've seen guarana gum -

Whether it *Also* has caffiene in it or not I don't know...

Take it that diet Red Bull is as bad as full sugar stuff??

I know Red Bull has caffiene as well. I don't know about other taurine products.
