Is it really 5 hours?


 I feel I need to make this public service announcement and share my experience with the "5 Hour Energy Shot". Wednesday night I was working a closing shift at the Crew. I had an indoor soccer game right after work. I was feeling a little tired from a hard day of folding t-shirts and I knew I needed a little pick me up. I remember my dad had given me a magical potion that I put in my soccer bag just for such an occasion. I guzzle the little shot down and run onto the field. I sub out during the game for a little rest. I am sitting there for a minute and realize my heart is still at a full sprint and doesn't appear to be slowing down. I, at first, think I am about to have a heart attack. Then I smile and know the "5 hour energy shot" is doing her job. Maybe a little to well. I finish the game and head home. Normally caffeine doesn't effect me to badly. I could have a Pepsi right before bed and when my head hits the pillow, show's over I'm out.  But after laying in my bed for an hour I put my hand up and... Yep I still got a bit of the shakes. I'm getting nervous because I have to be to work at 8 am. I start thinking what part of my morning routine I can cut in order to give me a few more precious minutes of sleep. Of course the gym is the first victim on my list. (as usual) I finally hit the promise land at 3 am. Exactly 5 hours after I had taken the shot. All I am saying is there is some serious truth in advertising in this product. Plan accordingly.
