Default What is really more efficient when it comes to waking you up?

I've heard something from those random fact finders, that apples are more efficient than coffee/caffeine when it comes to waking you up in the morning. Is this true? Are apples really better for you when it comes to waking you up, or are you one of those that would rather stick with a cup of coffee to get you out of bed in the morning? Discuss.

Coffee has always done the trick for me. What do apples have that help you wake up? Just a good source of carbs or something?

My vote goes to neither, since I use an alarm clock.

Fail joke is fail.

I'll use this thread to voice my opinion that energy drinks are a waste of money, bad for you, and only as popular as they are because teens think they're cool.

I think the gist of the claim is that the vitamins you'd get from fresh fruit will serve your body better than a cup of coffee, especially when you consider the effect over the course of the entire day rather than in the immediate waking moments.

Mind you, I'm also typing this as I stare down at my (now empty) 2nd cup of coffee for the morning

Well when I say I drink a cup of coffee to wake me up, I don't literally mean I drink it to get woken up

Just to get rid of that annoying groggy, molasses feeling. I get headaches when I don't drink coffee now

Oh I know. When I said alarm I meant that I don't have anything else, whether that be coffee or an energy drink or anything like that. If I'm thirsty I'll have water or cranberry juice. I'm not too big on coffee either, so I imagine that's a big part of it. I do like chocolate covered coffee beans though.

Oh, my 2nd cup is nearly empty at the moment so I feel you there. =P
