Sleep deprivation is common in the United States, affecting a wide range of Americans—from 30 percent of adults in Vermont to 46 percent of adults in Hawaii. Because it can lead to decreased work performance and a higher risk of accidents, it is a concerning problem. During such times, people often reach for caffeinated beverages to give them the alertness needed to function.

Are there other supplements that can promote alertness?
