I.E. you won't necessarily crash after eating or drinking something that <em>contains</em> guarana seeds, because there are other ingredients that will have other effects. I see your point though (and that's part of the reason I usually stick with something like Gatorade.) P.S. the time I wanted to fall asleep was merely seconds after drinking it, so I think that was either lack of sleep or just not wanting to believe the drink worked. ;) That might be true if you’re eating guarana seeds, but I wouldn’t generalize the effects of one ingredient to represent the entire drink.

So your adrenal glands are getting stimulated but you are really not getting any energy. When you come down, you will be more tired than you have before. It does stimulate the brain to think though and I'm sure it makes you feel alert. Guarana seeds contain approximately three times as much caffeine as coffee beans.
