The art of staying awake and focused is difficult to master alone. For that reason many sleepy students turn to some stimulant, usually caffeine, for help. However, Jerald H. Simmons, an assistant professor of neurology and director of UCLA's Sleep Disorders Center, said that caffeine might not be the best help students can get. If students don't get enough sleep they won't function as well and it affects their memory and performance. Yet students still continue to use it.
Caffeine comes in several different forms, most of which are readily available here on campus.
It works really well. I can down that sucker really fast. Mountain Dew has more caffeine than coffee. Actually, other studies have found that coffee has more caffeine than the amount for Mountain Dew. A 7-ounce cup of brewed coffee has anywhere from 80 to 135 mg of caffeine, instant coffee was reported to have 65 to 100 mg, a 2 ounce serving of espresso has about 100 mg and 12 ounces of iced tea has 70 mg.
