I don't drink anything with caffeine in it after noon, because it keeps me awake at night. I was very sleepy right after school at 3:30, and I knew I had to be in a two-hour rehearsal. So I went to the staff lounge and found some peppermint tea bags. There is always hot water and various tea bags in there. So I filled my thermos with peppermint tea, and it really helped keep me awake. I need to remember this for future reference!
Do you have something without caffeine that helps when you are sleepy but need to keep working?

@Marty1 I don't drink any coffee. I really don't like the taste! I like any kind of tea.

@Marty1 One of my friends also hates hot drinks. She always says because she is a kid at heart.

What does peppermint tea taste like? I have never heard about it before.

I LOVE peppermint tea. I grow my own. Sometimes I drink ice cold water as a pick-me-up. I never, ever have caffeine.

A few years ago, I had several different varieties of mint in a container garden but only the lemon balm is left now. I love fresh peppermint tea.

I usually drink coffee if I want to stay awake but too often that will make me sleepy. I like peppermint tea but I do not drink it very often because it is a diuretic.
