As far as waking up I don't use an alarm. I just wake up when I need to. It works most of the time and when it doesn't I figure I needed the extra sleep. But I'd say I overslept maybe once last year so it's pretty reliable for me.

Once I'm out of bed though coffee is a pretty high priority. I've cut back to two cups a day but I can't go without.

I would like this effect from my coffee.

The morning shower is the best at waking me up. Fall out of bed, throw some pants over my head and put my legs through some sleeve holes of a jacket and wander to the bathroom to get the proper sort it out.

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.

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.

I'm confused. You avoid caffeine but smoke cigarettes? How is nicotine addiction better than caffeine?

The withdrawals are easier to deal with, imo.

I agree with this post, unfortenately.

A shower first thing in the morning always wakes me up. However I do drink a lot of coffee and it's always nice to have in the morning along with a cigarette to get you geared up for the day.
