Abstract
Energy drinks are widely consumed, particularly among adolescents, yet many people are unaware of the potential negative effects associated with their ingredients. The purpose of this study is to examine these effects through self-reported experiences rather than experimental testing. This research is necessary because energy drink consumption has become increasingly common, while knowledge about its possible impact on sleep and emotional well-being remains limited. Data will be collected through a literature review examining energy drink intake and whether it affects individuals' sleep, causes irritability, or leads to changes in mood or focus. Participants of varying ages will be included to compare reported effects among different age groups. These findings are expected to aid individuals in making informed decisions about their energy drink consumption.
