In this episode, we explore a surprising but powerful signal of workplace burnout: the 8.9% surge in energy drink consumption. While many view this as just another consumer trend, the data reveals something deeper: employees are increasingly turning to stimulants to combat chronic fatigue, mounting stress, and relentless workloads.

We unpack how this reliance on quick energy fixes creates a dangerous cycle. Energy drinks may mask exhaustion in the short term, but they erode long-term health, disrupt sleep, and prevent recovery. Instead of addressing the systemic roots of burnout, organizations risk normalizing a culture where artificial energy becomes a substitute for balance and rest.

The conversation calls on leaders to look beyond the symptom: rising energy drink use, and confront the causes: poor work design, excessive demands, and lack of recovery time. True prevention lies in redesigning work for sustainability, fostering a culture that prioritizes rest, and supporting employee mental health. By doing so, we can break the cycle and reduce the need for artificial boosts.
