I go to work at 3 in the morning. Yes, you read that right. I’ve tried my best to manage the change in my sleep schedule but inevitably, most days, I’m tired.
Here’s the problem – coffee at 3 am is not cutting it for me. TMI but my empty stomach cannot handle my Nespresso pods. I’m not hungry at 3 am so I’ve realized coffee is a no-go. Plus, being a news reporter, I don’t work from an office, I work from my car. If I gotta go, my options are gas stations in Hartford, Connecticut. You can imagine – it’s not the cleanest or safest.
SOOOO I went to my tried and true FB page, MMJ Jane. It’s a GREAT resource for female journalists. Whenever I’m lost/confused/needing help, that’s where I go. In the group, I asked for energy drink recommendations from other morning reporters/anchors and got a ton of feedback!
Below are the energy drinks they recommended! I bought the Alani Nu energy packets based on reviews. So many girls swore by it! In case it’ll help you, no matter your job, I put the most common recommendations below!
