i hardly ever drink coffee

me dad came up with an ingenious way of waking me up, he climbs on my bed and pees all over me

or me brother will put on some action movie at top volume, during the explosion parts (this is only on weekends)

he pee's on you intentionally or is he really senile?

don't you get tired of having to wash the sheets?

Caffeine addictions are horrible. I go out of my way to avoid becoming addicted to caffeine; I'll purposefully avoid developing patterns of drinking it, as I learned the hard way that too much caffeine and hard manual labour do not go together, at all. Cold sweats, nausea, etc... not a fun way to spend the morning.

Anyways, the closest thing I have to a wake up routine is how the morning cigarette is always closely followed by the morning poop. Other than that it's up in the air.

100% agreeance, same. I never was big on coffee and I got that energy drink faze out of my life. I'll drink maybe two cups of coffee a week, usually after dinner, and only as a dessert, not to prop me up...

i never do - used to the smell

In regards to OP; I really, really try to avoid the latest diet advice or craze. I just try to have a breakfast which is inline with my personal nutrition and health goals, so I try to get a good deal of fiber and protein during breakfast, which tend to be quite large and lengthy. I try to have my largest meal at breakfast, and then have them get progressively smaller as the day wears on.

It was a statement of personal preference, not a general medical claim. I find nicotine addiction to be far less bothersome than caffeine addiction. I go from smoking a dozen R.Y.O. cigarettes a day for a few weeks, and then have none for a few days and still be functional. When I was in the grips of caffeine addiction I had effects similar to what Pigeon mentioned, however I noticed that - no matter how much sleep I got the night prior - if my workday began before sun-up, I would be absolutely dead until sunshine was present.

Never had a coffee in my life and can pretty much get up whenever I want whether it be after 1hr to 16 hrs sleep. Guess i'm just lucky with the way my body works though, coffee has always looked and smelled like poop to me.

I've heard the thing about apples before, something about the sugar gives you a kick - as would ingesting any sugary fruit or cereal instead of coffee.

I usually have a coffee in the morning, but NOTHING is effective in waking me up. I have to get up at 6am every day, and I've been doing it for about 2 years, and it is still a huge struggle. I have to put my alarm clock on the opposite side of my room so that I am forced to get out of bed to turn it off.

I've heard that the smell of citrus wakes you up. Or at least that's what companies that have citrus-scented bath products tell me.
