So I started my programming journey some months ago and I realized that I can't go on coding for long hours without the consumption of coffee or any energy drink. I take like 2 cups of coffee everyday for maximum productivity. I want to know maybe there's an alternative to this or maybe it's a routine I have to live with since most programmers do too.

If you must take energy drinks please try to limit it to at most once per week. The composition of those things are detrimental to the health. Coffee is even still better in that respect (not saying there's nothing like caffeine addiction though).

If your room is big enough, try walking about for like 5 minutes. Take a nap if you feel tire. Do whatever but don't become reliant(or addicted) to drugs in the process.

keep up with the coffee intake.. but go and read how harmful caffeine is to the male body system

Hmmmm...sounds really cool

You can try taking two cups daily for a week then stop and by then your body must ave adapted to staying awake

Surprising thing is, I've never taken a coffee just to stay awake.

Once I feel sleepy, I just set an alarm, and goto sleep

Is a thing of the mind I have been programming fulltime for more than 5years and I don't need coffee to code.

I grew up watcing tv from 10pm till 5am. My body clock used to being awake at those times. . I do more of water. Never took coffee talkless energy drinks. . Both are bad for you.

As for me, I just have a bottle of water beside me. With that, I'm good to go. Sincerely, I can't take coffee or energy drinks cos I will definitely be addicted to it. So, H2O is my own way and I just a stroll whenever I'm tired.
