Yes there is.
Take about a couple apples with you.
Apples will wake you up more than caffeine or any of those other drinks will.
I hope this helped.

Coffee, soda, candy, and energy drinks are bad! They make you feel energized and good for a while, but later, they make you feel sluggish and tired again. They kind of work like a cocaine crash.
Instead, just try getting a good amount of sleep (7-8 hours.) and eating a snack when you feel hungry. Try a granola bar, or something with fiber & protein. Like, nuts, granola bars, bread, peanut butter, bagels, stuff like that. Also hold off on sugary snacks.
Also, you should try getting a bit of exercise. You may feel tired, but sometimes all you need is a little exercise to wake you up! Try jogging in place for 5 minutes, or running up some stairs. It should make you feel alert and energized.
Of course, the best thing you can do is learn to manage your time in a way that is best for YOU. Don't take on too many assignments or responsibilities. Only accept the ones that you think you can handle. Try to take out at least 10 minutes of your day for some "Me Time." Relax & Breathe. Breathing techniques also can help when you feel tired and overwhelmed. Close your eyes and take deep breaths, in through your nose and out through your mouth, imagine yourself standing in the sun and "awakening" to life. Sounds corny, but it helps.

first of all, don't rely on energy drinks. they can boost your energy first, but later make you crash. chew gum or keep candy in your mouth without being rude during your job. also, from time to time, go and splash your face with cold water. good luck! feel free to leave me one in my inbox if you need help!

Try adding a small snack that has a little bit of carbs backed by protein. Not sugar, because you'll crash, but something like peanut butter and crackers.

Just keep busy and that will keep you awake.
Hopefully it isn't a desk job! If its not, don't worry to much about it. You will be so wired the first few days it won't be a problem. :)
