Ok so, I've decided to set rules for myself because I'm a dumbass a simple fuck who lives by the path of least resistance.
I currently have no bedtime and a hard limit of two monsters a day, and if left unhindered I will stay up until 6:00 in the morning and chug two monsters to get through the day. Currently this is a horrendous way to live; my alarm start going off at 1:00 p.m. and I have to be out of the door by 2:00, and I have gotten to a level of sleep deprivation where I start to feel mild vertigo whenever I lay down.
(Nevermind the fact that 2 monsters a day costs way too much to sustain and whatever the fuck it's doing to my heart at this rate. If I had a dollar, yaknow.)
If I want to get a second can of Monster I have to be off the computer and in bed by my bedtime; on a normal day this is 3:00 optimistically and 4:00 as a hard limit.
If I am on the computer past that I can only have one can of Monster.
If I am on my phone for more than 30 minutes once I get in bed I can only have an extra half a can.
Considering my brain abides by restrictions pretty well (this is how I've made it to 25), the theory is this will actually work out nicely. In practice however, today has turned out too chaotic, and I do need the extra caffeine boost.
So I have added a new rule:
If I absolutely must have a second round of caffeine, I have to find the nastiest flavor of 5-Hour Energy shot and slam it immediately.
All of this is to say I just skipped over to a gas station during my break and slammed a watermelon shot cause I went to bed at 5:30 last night 🤘✌️
