Description
Giorgos Sakkas and three co-authors reviewed in 2026 how energy drinks tangle with teenage sleep and health. The drinks promise alertness and sport gains, and teens buy the promise, yet caffeine borrowed at night is repaid in lost sleep. The review grades the evidence linking the drinks to short, broken sleep.
From there it follows the chain outward: poor sleep feeds weight gain, dulls thinking, and saps activity, while tired teens may drink more to cope. Sorting strong findings from thin ones helps schools and parents argue from evidence, not panic.
