What it is: Anatomicals Snoozers Are Losers energy patches
The recommended 8 hours sleep a night is a hell of a lot of time to be spent snoring.
So when you’ve got something more interesting to do or, indeed, boring (like working through the night) you’ll be glad of our “Snoozers Are Losers” caffeine packed energy patches. Just one on your upper arm and you’re back in the land of this living quicker than a freshly thawed out Walt Disney.
Here’s the thing: Um, yah. I didn’t expect them to be fabulous (because, obviously, you can’t absorb enough caffeine through your skin for it to be effective in keeping you awake), but I still had to give them a try! And as expected, they didn’t “energize” me… but that doesn’t mean they didn’t work.
What they do: the second you put on a S:RL energy patch, you notice one thing two things: the weird, jelly-like texture, and the cooling sensation. That’s what really keeps you alert — you underestimate how effective a strange, cold patch of what essentially feels like jello can be, grasshopper. It’s super-weird, and somehow, that makes it… effective.
(See? I told you it was weird!)
The verdict? While I won’t be rebuying these (they’re really a novelty item; let’s be honest,) I wouldn’t dissuade you from purchasing them and giving them a go. As I said, they won’t infuse you with caffeine, but they’ll make you
feel like you have more energy — and hey, isn’t that all that’s important? :o)
One last thing: Anatomicals, my dears, would you mind making these a little stickier? Because the second they’re on, they’re practically already falling off, and it drives me nuts. I’m not talking, like, a TON stickier, but a little bit would help! Even if they were made in band-aid style, with sticker ends and a less-sticky centre. I mean, they might be okay for normal people, but I’m really damn fidgety when I’m tired, and underneath a sleeve these just don’t have enough stick. Thanks ;)
