Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Subjective caffeine visual analog scales
Time Frame: Day 5
Participants will rate how they feel on a horizontal line. Lines will be flanked with perceived feelings. Scores range from 0-100, where a higher score indicates increase in that feeling.
Secondary Outcomes
- Subjective caffeine visual analog scales(Up to 5 hours after beverage consumption)
- Subjective quality of life ratings(Day 5)
- Physiological response - Sleep(Up to 5 hours post-beverage consumption and after 5 days of daily beverage consumption)
- Physiological responses - Activity(Up to 5 hours post-beverage consumption and after 5 days of daily beverage consumption)
