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

**Exo** · 04-22-2012, 12:52 PM

I do not recommend this for anybody because it's horrible and I hate it but...

Cold water in the shower is the best way to wake up. I'm not talking about a full cold shower though. What I do is take a normal shower and then 30 seconds before I get out I blast the knob to the right as far as it goes. It's the best wake up you can get.

But it's a nightmare.

Showers do it for me, so neither.

I am so disgustingly addicted to coffee. I've surpassed the "if I don't drink coffee I get a bad headache" phase of the addiction and am now to the point where if I don't have coffee within an hour of waking up I will be useless for the entire day. It's kind of terrifying.

I also have a bit of a schedule/routine to which I adhere, and no matter how much coffee I've had if I don't get more at certain points throughout the day I'll still get a headache and slip into a useless zombie state. It's bad, bad, bad.

I usually get an iced coffee mid-morning at work. If I'm really tired, it'll be caffeinated; otherwise I try to stick with decaf. Sometimes I'll get another coffee in the afternoon to get a little energy before going home, but if I make the mistake of getting caffeinated then I'm up half the night. I'm really sensitive to caffeine.

I rarely drink coffee in the morning. It's more of an afternoon/night thing for me. I just get up and go about my day.

Funny, because I was just listening to the song "Shattered"

Maybe sex would happen for me in the morning if my boyfriend and I actually woke up at the same time. Fuck having different schedules.

I've heard these apple claims and gave it a try after weening myself off of coffee. It didn't work as well and here I am again drinking a cup of medium roast coffee.

I wish I could make it so my computer could wake me up with certain music. I have not figured out how to do so yet.

I couldn't drink a full cup of coffee, it makes me far too hyper.

Most phones will let you pick an alarm tone to wake you up? Mine plays Here Comes the Sun when it's time for me to wake up.
