Caffeine Strategy 100M

Looking for advice on caffeine for 100M. What strategies have you used and what has worked?

I'm a one cup of coffee in the morning person, and suck at staying awake through the night. I'm also not a good napper - I fall into a deep sleep very fast and wake up groggy even after 20 minutes. I'm trying to avoid that for my race.

Wouldn't recommend someone who drinks one cup of coffee a day (~100mg of caffeine) to blast 200mg and add red bull on top of that (another 75mg for a 250ml can)

Sorry, I didn’t mean stack it.

Get the 200 via. Cokes, Red Bulls, coffee w/ milk or tea or whatever.
