I got a terrible night of sleep and have an interview this afternoon. What are some things I can do to help my brain? (lemm.ee)

I'm super drowsy even though I had some caffeine. I'm drinking lots of water and eating healthy foods, but is there anything else I can do in the meantime?

How do you make yourself feel better after a poor night of sleep?

Edit: It went well! The director even said, "we should just hire you now!" However, I have one more panel interview. Time for a nap.

How do you make yourself feel better after a poor night of sleep?

What I do, I definitely wouldn't recommend. It's definitely unhealthy.
If I feel weak and shaky, I'll dissolve like 15 teaspoons of sugar in a cup of water and drink that. Then flush that down with extra water. Obviously only if I don't need to go anywhere, otherwise I wouldn't drink a lot of water.
But maybe it's not that bad. To be honest, I have no idea how much sugar is in regular soda.

I take kratom. Really wakes you up and makes you feel mentally quick.

Obviously won't help you now. But in the future you can be prepared.

The gas station stuff? It wakes you up?

You can buy it online, there are different versions but if you take it in small doses it is a stimulant.
