What helps you wake up in the morning?

[Bieke]

I'm really not a morning person... Thats also why I work at night.. but last week and this week too i had to change my shift cause there r are lots of people sick on the morning shift.. I can understand why.. IM TIRED!!!!!!!! and only wanna crawl into bed again.. I also have a slightly sore troat and my eyes don't feel like staying open..

BUT when I turn the radio on, I can't help but start singing I'm instantly awake and in a good mood.. at work they all know me as a happy smiling girl hehe

sooooooooooooooo iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii saaaaaaaaaaaaaaay thank you for the music! :D

(you can imagen the looks i get, when i stop at the traffic lights with my truck and i keep on singing with full emotion! haha)

For me, it's the right song. Thankfully, I get a Sirius signal (albeit through the wireless connection...note to anyone who signs up with Sirius-XM: Get the Sirius Stelletto 2. Best radio out there for portability, home and car use) and don't have to deal with the crappy Top 40 radio station that plagues my town.

This morning, "Heaven and Hell" by Black Sabbath was playing as I was coming to consciousness, and being one of my favorite songs, I started humming along and came to wakefulness.

What song will it be tomorrow? No idea. I'm thinking of keeping it on the Hair Metal channel tonight as I sleep, just to change things up.

My radio alarm used to work like a charm, i'd be up and ready to roll. Now....it really varies. If i sleep more then 8 or 9 hours i'm groggy and don't want to get up. Less then 6...same issue. Go figure

I have an alarm that uses my ipod to wake me up and since its set to the max and sits right next to my bed its pretty sure to wake me up lol

[PoopSama]

My 5 alarms that I set on my cell phone hahaha. I hate morning and waking up just straight up sucks. So I set 5 alarms on my cell phone to go off every 10 mins or so. Half the time I wake up and shut them off but they usually work pretty good. I used to wake up to music but I started scaring me haha.

[PMS Serenity]

Lots and LOTS of coffee!!! om nom nom

Music is my getting ready pickmeup.

[PMS Wrath]

[H2O Creation]

a lil more sleep helps me wake just fine, then a nice long hot shower.... followed by a big breakfast then it's all go.......................................

[H2O Sonik]

Knowing I'm better than everyone else


Edit: I read this thread wrong.. obviously.

[naturaL)]

ahh the whole music thing does it for me also>.... but usually after the shower i'm pretty awake.. so i tend to go straight to the bathroom and wash my face if im feeling sleeeepy.

[H2O Pyro]

Maxman and his quotes! lol!

umm for me, its a phone call from my girl.

and music worked for me when i needed to get up for school.
you know, i might try music again, its been a while.

When i need to be up earlier than noon, i set my coffee maker to make coffee 15 minutes before my alarm clock goes off. By the time the alarm goes off, my head is lazily filled with dreams of the perfect cup with french vanilla creamer and the perfect amount of sugar... then the reality of the day's to-do list sets in and boots my caboose outta the sheets.

So i guess, coffee (mmm, coffee) lures me awake, and FEAR of not accomplishing my tasks gets me up.

Btw, Wrath, careful with those multiple alarms. i used to do that, til it made my gf a very, VERY irate lady when i kept waking her repeatedly when she didn't need to be up until hours later. Admittedly, i'd have been pretty grumpy if she'd done the same to me.

[EWW]

i dont drink coffee nor do i like to hear alot of noise when i wake up...i lay in my bed after i wake up for like 15mins before i actually get up then i go rinse my face and brush my teeth

[ManikzPro]

Coffee and some del the funky homosapien!!

[Kestral H2O]

A good smack to my face. In my face in my face in my faaace.

[H2O DarkKnight 2k6]

(thats not my account btw) i had this clock and 3 other ones but i put them away so 1. my aunts wouldnt keep harrasing me to give it to my little cousins and 2. like id throw them out.

nowdays i just use my phone with the 1960's batman theme as the wake up tone. though whenever im exited for something i usually wake up 1 hour before the phone alarm goes off.

Knowing that everyday I live is one step closer to unlocking the secrets of life.

[Tears_PMS]

Music from my alarm clock, music on my cell alarm which is my 2nd alarm to make sure i get up..lol and driving to work at 6am I blast music. That works for me :)
