Maybe you are shaking from caffeine overdose, I don't know exactly what is in those energy drinks, but caffeine is a stimulant, one of the energy boosters as well as adrenaline.

I went to bed earlier and I woke up at midnight, and I am up now, still. But I am getting tired so I will be going back to bed, soon.

Maybe drink some water or normal orange juice cranberry juice or apple juice, to dilute the energy drinks in your body, and go lie in bed, put the warm comforter on you and you can meditate, with your eyes closed, and deep breathing. While you are lying in bed with eyes closed and comfortable, just breathe deeply, and mention your areas of your body while breathing deeply, I find that, that makes my muscles relax, my back, my neck etc. Also it sometimes puts me to sleep.

Anyways try that. And next time, please just eat food if you are hungry, and go to bed at a normal time. I am not sure your body can take these energy drinks. Look closely on the ingredients listed on the energy drink, see if you see, caffeine, or amphetamines, adrenaline, testosterone or something like that. You can email me back with the info, Susan

I'm still up at 3am and I didn't have any energy drinks. Nothing wrong with staying up late...You have anything important to do tomorrow? If not sleep in a bit later than normal -and then try to have a somewhat productive day tomorrow so you don't feel like you wasted the day.

Side effects of caffeine

Too much caffeine, especially over an extended period of time, can lead to a number of physical and mental conditions. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) states: "The 4 caffeine-induced psychiatric disorders include caffeine intoxication, caffeine-induced anxiety disorder, caffeine-induced sleep disorder, and caffeine-related disorder not otherwise specified (NOS)."

An overdose of caffeine can result in a state termed caffeine intoxication or caffeine poisoning. Its symptoms are both physiological and psychological. Symptoms of caffeine intoxication include: restlessness, nervousness, excitement, insomnia, flushed face, diuresis, muscle twitching, rambling flow of thought and speech, paranoia, cardiac arrhythmia or tachycardia, and psychomotor agitation, gastrointestinal complaints, increased blood pressure, rapid pulse, vasoconstriction (tightening or constricting of superficial blood vessels) sometimes resulting in cold hands or fingers, increased amounts of fatty acids in the blood, and an increased production of gastric acid. In extreme cases mania, depression, lapses in judgment, disorientation, loss of social inhibition, delusions, hallucinations and psychosis may occur.

Because caffeine increases the production of stomach acid, high usage over time can lead to peptic ulcers, erosive esophagitis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease. Furthermore, it can also lead to nervousness, irritability, anxiety, tremulousness, muscle twitching, insomnia, heart palpitations and hyperreflexia .

You are an addict. You need to call a hospital and talk to a triage nurse.
