Says the guy with a lemon instead of a rear tyre on a bike.

Have an apple and a cup of coffee

Have a bowl of porridge a bit later.

My morning ritual is something like:

Get up (10.00am)
Turn on kettle (10.02am)
Turn on computer (10.04am)
Make coffee (10.05am)
Turn on loud, energetic music (10.06am)
Check emails and forums while drinking coffee (10.08am)
Finish coffee (10.15am)
Eat some fruit for breakfast - apple/banana (10.16am)
Jump in the shower, shave while in shower (10.20am)
Get dressed, brush teeth and sort hair (10.30am)
Think about starting work (10.40am)
Decide to faff instead(10.41am)
Eventually start work when I feel awake enough (11.00am)

Works for me.

it would take me an hour to get past the first 2

The only thing there that actually wakes me up is the shower, so I guess I recommend doing that as soon as possible. I like to think the other stuff helps, though.

you must be the happiest person in the world ever.

Even getting out of bed at 0520, yup, I'm pretty darn happy (just don't talk to me for about an hour, I only grunt till about 7)

Only way to wake up, itripping!

I cycle to work, i get to my desk and i'm buzzing.

So are the people sitting next to you with yer stench

lemonkettaz · 2 May 2006 at 10:39

wearing all your nice clothes and then biking it.

jpmonkey69 · 2 May 2006 at 10:43

I listen to Hard House or industrial/jump up Drum and Bass. That, coupled with a hella strong coffee....

60% of the time, it works ALL the time

Bakedgoods · 2 May 2006 at 10:44

If I laze around because i'm tired it takes me hours. I'll generally just get up, turn some music on and either jump straight in the shower or make some food and drink.

milk + sugar

1 pint : 4 paks of sugar

or have a good wash/shower and change into my work clothes and smell nicer and more lovely than everyone around me.

A single apple has more energy than a cup of coffee.

Nature > Starbucks.

erm...obviously, caffiene has no nutrious value at all, it is a stimluant (god my spelling today is crap). But that is the point, wakes you up and works well too. Thou eating an apple will help as well.

Apples are a lot cheaper!

(And you don't need to 'drop the kids off' about 10 minutes after eating one, as you do with coffee - or at least i do :/ )

coffee is also natural a laxative, like cocoanut milk. Drink enough will make you go and go.
