6. It's because of some pills I've been eating for the past three years. I get maybe two hours every day where I don't feel the need to go to sleep. I struggle not to sleep too much though. Would be lots of wasted game time!

1) On average, 0. I only drink them when I find them on offer.
2) 0.2 litres then I guess, I only have a cup every now and then.
3) Probably about 6... but most of that's diet/light.
4) 36-40.
5) Probably around a 7.
6) I work early mornings, hence the lack of sleep and the high amount of caffeine.

2. 1L
3. 8L (All soda, no tea)
4. 53 hours (Estimating. Going by 5 hours on weekdays and 11 hours on my weekends)
5. I'd say a solid 8 on weekdays, 5 on weekends. You could average that to to 6.5 or 7 overall I suppose.
6. I toss and turn a lot, I kinda think due to stress, so restless nights. Especially on weekdays.

And thank you for the pineapple. ^^ Om nom nom nom. <3

4. 56 hours
5. 7

Greetings, humans. I am making a survey of caffeine's effects on tiredness. If you could find it in yourself to take a moment to answer the following questions, it would be greatly appreciated. I will post the results (statistics) in this thread when I'm ready.

1. On average how many litres per week do you drink energy drinks?
0
2. On average how many litres per week do you drink coffee? (One cup ~ 0.2 litres)
0.2
3. On average how many litres per week do you drink tea and soda?
2.8, that's mostly soda, but I don't know how much of it has caffeine. Probably not much since I drink diet sodas.
4. On average how many hours per week do you sleep?
42
5. On average how tired do you feel on a scale from 1 to 10. (Brisk -> Tired)
4

3. On average how many litres per week do you drink tea and soda? Litres of tea? dunno, 30 or so a week cups a week, going by 0.2 litres a cup...7 litres
4. On average how many hours per week do you sleep? 50-55 hours, I likes me sleep!

1. About 5
2. .4
3. .1
4. 49
5. 6 I guess
6. Slightly wired that way, slightly standing all day, and caffine crash.

Just to let you know, depending on what this survey is for...you know the phrase, "Correlation is not causation?". That. A thousand times that. Caffine could lead you to be tired. People who are tired could drink more caffeine. A certain lifestyle could naturally lead to an acceptance of energy drinks and a lack of sleep. Marketing of energy drinks could appeal to people who may be more physically fit, and mask any results. Also, as far as tiredness goes, a person who sleeps 50 hours a week may sleep a little over 7 hours a day, or they may sleep 15 hours on weekends, and 4 hours on week days, and there is a huge difference. And that's to say nothing of selection bias. (You're not surveying a sampling of the general population, your surveying primarily young, tech savvy males interested in gaming who want to respond to your poll.) If this is high school level work, mention all these weaknesses and you might get some extra credit. If its College, your probably looking at some regression analysis, and probably more demographic information, particularly after some research on the causes of tiredness. Can you do an experiment? An experiment would really lend itself to this.
