I usually set my alarm, force myself out of bed, then immediately start working out. Wakes me right up every single time, and I feel great for the rest of the day.

Caffeine works in a pinch if I'm pressed for time, but I tend to crash out after a while. With exercise, I feel fresh and happy.

whenever I drink energy drinks I get a caffeine fever and jitters. I've never tried apples, though.

also, an unrelated note: My alarm clock is circuit bent so whenever it goes off it's distorted as all hell and I wake up screaming. Potentiometers are a glorious thing, and my parents regret ever letting me into electronics class.

Cup of tea, cigarette and a shower. Nicotine is an effective stimulant, and I heard tea has more caffeine than coffee (by dry weight).

wank?
