Study: Small Doses of Caffeine Best to Stay Awake

Posted by timothy on from the iv-drip dept.

Ralph writes "This study concludes that smaller doses of caffeine throughout the day are more effective in keeping awake for long hours, rather than the traditional morning mug of coffee. However, in many cases, myself included, the problem isn't staying awake for long hours, but rather using uptime efficiently. Any known cures for the "laziness disorder" out there?"

    Well, my guess is that slashdot is not the best cure for "laziness disorder".

    I wonder what the best way to get these small doses might be. Perhaps snorting a line of coffee granules every few hours?

      "we investigated the effects of blindly administered intravenous caffeine"

      I read this and then spent several seconds trying to figure out how you could give someone an IV without them knowing it.

      I must need a Coke.
