It’s no secret
It’s common advice to avoid cramming. Most guides suggest that students review the material right after class, while it’s still fresh in your memory, and to space out your studying before a test.
Most studies say that reviewing your materials several times a week before a test, with a comfortable and quiet place to study is the best idea
That students with better study methods and strategies score higher

Most of the energy you get comes from the caffeine and the sugar
The caffeine in energy drinks works by blocking the effects of adenosine, a brain chemical involved in sleep. When caffeine blocks adenosine, it causes neurons in the brain to fire.

Most of the energy you get comes from the caffeine and the sugar
Thinking the body is in an emergency, the pituitary gland initiates the body's "fight or flight" response by releasing adrenaline. This hormone makes the heart beat faster and the eyes dilate. It also causes the liver to release extra sugar into the bloodstream for energy.

Most of the energy you get comes from the caffeine and the sugar
Caffeine affects the levels of dopamine, a chemical in the brain's pleasure center. All of these physical responses make you feel as though you have more energy.

So should I do it?
If you have to stay awake, and are having a problem, go for it. Caffeine can boost mental and physical performance and elevate your mood.

Just be safe
However, use energy drinks in moderation. Pay attention to serving sizes and keep your consumption in control.
Eat something, don’t rely only on energy drinks to keep you awake.
Too much caffeine CAN kill you.
