Is there anything for evening energy?

[Kaprice]

I tend to have an energy and motivation crash 2 to 3 hours before bedtime. But stimulants and fat loss supps at that time make it impossible to sleep (even though I'm still TIRED at bedtime after taking one of those 2 to 3 hours earlier).

Is there anything I can take to give me a lift for those last few hours of the day while still allowing me to drift to sleep at bedtime?

Either this or pick up some caffeine pills and take lower dose.

 

[Kaprice]

I don't drink coffee, but I could experiment with cutting a caffeine pill to find a dose that doesn't keep me up.

Antaeus Labs psyche could be worth looking into... single pills have 35 mg caffeine plus a couple other ingredients

Sulbutiamine. Nootropic which consists of two thiamine molecules bonded together via sulfide bond.

Used it all the time during undergrad for late nights studying. Non stim like focus, easy to fall asleep an hour or two after taking it. As a bonus I felt enhanced sleep quality !

1 cap nootrol has just right amount caffeine to give me a boost at night without keeping me up

I find a good Green strain of Kratom to be slightly stimulating for a couple of hours and turns into a nice relaxing feel afterwards. I wouldn't use it daily though.

Green Tea? You're looking at 30-40 mg in a packet.

Volatile by Formutech Nutrition is a very low dosed stimulant preworkout. Only 125 mg. You could try that.

OP, are you looking for energy for a late workout? If not, I just don't see the point in going with a pre-workout (and paying for PWO ingredients) if you aren't going to be working out. That's just me though.

No, not for a late workout. I just hate being tired for the last 3 hours of the day. I'd like to be able to get some work done -- desk type work.

Noopept and caffeine

Noopept and caffeine

Those two both sound like substances that would make sleep impossible. How, specifically, have you used them for late night energy that doesn't disrupt sleep?

 

[mw1]

Half a tab of caffeine...noopept helps with concentration and motivation but will not keep you awake

Yes when i was studying for 8 months for an exam i had to take

What's the closest to bedtime you've gotten away with that?

2.5 cause thats how long i would generally be reading/studying. Never really tried anything shorter

In that case, I would just go with a standard caffeine pill like caffeine power by hitech. They are a little strong so I would snap one in half for 100mg or so.

For desk type work for 3 hours, I would say that Performax Nootropimax would do a nice job. It looks like it contains a hefty amount of caffeine but it really doesn't, given the two different forms and the other ingredients that balance it out. People seem to love Evomuse Clear Edge as well, which I have never tried...good luck getting it though!

A powdered stim could do you well as it will hit you quicker and you could more easily experiment with dosage as well. OL Bloodshred WAR (not RAW with AY) would be a solid choice there.

Oh, as much as I hate promoting anything PES nowadays. The current version of Alphamine may be just enough to give you a bit of a boost for three hours or so for late night desk work depending on your stim tolerance.

Extra cold shower and a small snack.

I use the caffeine pills from Hi-tech once in awhile. If you only took 1/2 a tab, the $7.00 bottle would last pretty long. You may be able to find other caffeine pills too. Coffee seems like a great possibility as well. No matter what you choose, it will cost money for a supplement or anything you ingest to help provide what your looking for (unless you grow it or someone gives it to you).

 

[PowerHouse555]

Coffee or tea...if you dont either you should start....the health benefits of both or over whelming

 

[cheftepesh1]

I would look for a pump product. This will work for you if your trying to avoid stims later in the evening.
