I am dragging today. Like I CAN NOT wake up.
I have had 3 cups of coffee this morning and it is not doing it.
What do you guys do on those mornings that will not end.
What is your wake up drug?

RAIN IT DOWN
Exercise…take a run around Tower Place!!
The new monster java’s are pretty amazing, I recommend trying one.
4 cups of coffee
Hair of the dog! or at least the same logic. The best thing for what ails you is more of what ails you. You just need to cure your lack of sleep by getting more sleep. Go back to bed.
Sbux quad-venti-caramel macchiato starts the day. Then it’s Altera coffee as needed. If that won’t do it, old-school Stevie Wonder. Don’t ask me why, but Superstition or Higher Ground work wonders.
Hillsong, for sure! A little “In Your Freedom” blasting on the iPOD will open you up better than any sweet libation or torture on the treadmill!
I jump in the pool. No joke.
And Josiah up there isn’t joking around. The amount of caffeine in those things have to be a sin. Or an illegal drug.
Java Chip!
It’s a little song called “Here I Go Again.” Whitesnake. Perhaps you’ve heard of it.
Just scrap it. Crawl back in bed and try again tomorrow.
If that is not an option, someone has to make a Starbucks run.
I work with at-risk inner city high school students during the day….there ain’t no way I’m falling asleep…my drug of choice is the fear of what they might do to me if I fall asleep in class….LOL
a nap… and if that’s not possible get the caffine flowing until you are twitching!
You’re probably just tired from crying via your blog the other night. Good blog by the way, but crying can take it out of you, something that can only be reversed by exercise or Mountain Dew or the supernatural touch of God.
A massive dose of Underoath followed by a triple shot, grande, extra hot, art opening (orange, tiramisu latte)from Eli’s…a local coffee shop.
double espresso…………..i once had a 4 shot espresso when i was a barista and whooooooo i was a dribbling mess after that!
Stand up to work & put on some really loud, really hard music & then sing, scream, & dance – dance & bang your head awake.
Yea dude, push ups and up downs.
STEP 1
Find a nearby electrical outlet
STEP 2
Locate a screwdriver and unscrew the outlet plate
STEP 3
Using your fingers, reach around the electrical outlet until you find the screws on the side
STEP 4
You are now awake.
It works every time.

Full Throttle FTW. If you don’t like that, a Red Bull. Taking a walk probably helps too. Lots of breaks outside to get some fresh cool air.
Quick nap at lunch maybe.
Here is a pretty tight little blog for just those day’s.

Better yet, go to the student area, find a Wii, stick in Wii sports and play boxing….that’s what I’ve done lately to wake up in the morning, works every time.
exercise exercise exercise!!
where’s the next fat ragamuffin vlog?
I am with the “go back to bed people.” My first patient cancelled this morning so I went straight to sleep on the couch in my office!!! You and I are on the same wavelength today!
I got “mom’d” by both my boss and a coworker the other day when I said I was always tired, even though I got 8 hours of sleep the night before. They told me I should take my vitamins. I think I will.
Aside from that, I listen to “Let Go” by Edison Glass or something of the like…and I mix a shot of coffee in with my Numi chai. Also, apples have natural caffeine. I eat one pretty much every morning.
If all else fails…nap at lunch and hit snooze as much as possible until I absolutely have to roll over and head back to my office.
Chew gum. No jive. Chew gum hard and fast. It pushes more Oxygen to the brain. When you are sleepy it is because of lack of oxygen to the brain. You’ll see… or you’ll sleep.
Play PING-PONG!!
and energy/protein shakes.
maybe it’s because you have a big metal thing sticking out of the top of your head.
drive with your window open in the rain…is it raining in the ATL?
When I’m like that I go home and work. I get more done but I can be in my PJ’s and take a nap if I need to.
Travel always takes it out of me. Especially whenever I have to fly somewhere, like you have been doing. Depression also makes people lethargic. I am not saying you may be depressed but you have definitely been blue and lonesome for your good friends at Sandals. Here is my MOM advice. Take 1,000 mg of vitamin C and one hard boiled egg. You need good protien. Think healthy. Get a good salad for lunch. No more caffeine today!! Water, water, water. I know, that one is a little harsh. If all that does not work, go back to bed and don’t feel guilty.
CAFFEINE NAP!!!
Chug 1 Starbucks Double Shot.
Take a 15 minute nap immediately.
Brain Reboot!
Revisit the frozen peas, that should do it…..
my day starts at 1130am… So I really don’t need a wake up drug!
Diet Pepsi Max. My whole office are full of addicts to this stuff. Tastes just like Diet Pepsi but packs a punch.
Yum!
On second thought…I think Gary’s may be the best option.
hahaha
Take a 20 min nap or chew gum or eat maple sugar candy…that will give you a sugar high like nothing else.
Asking my husband to take the kids to school so I can go back to bed. Thanks. H
I am a very little person, and caffine affects me like this: I have one in the morning, it doesn’t kick in until it’s time to go to bed, hubby gets mad cuz I’m up till all hours, I sleep like crap, then the next morning my tiredness is like a weight on my chest. (Then most people would just drink another coffee, and this is how you get addicted to it.)I just deal with it for the day-I don’t want to be addicted to caffine. This is why I don’t drink coffee or soda but maybe once a month. (Godiva makes some bottled mochas that are heavenly if you add some raspberry syrup to it.)
I’m with Coni Andress. I hope you take some time this week end to rest or at least go to bed when the kids go to bed and wake up later than usual. Love You Baby. Mom
crack!! Works like a charm LOL!! Ok maybe not, just go back to bed

pluck a few hairs from your brow, or maybe some nose hair. That seems to wake me up.
1- proceed to auditorium
2- fire up the lights and sound system
3- throw on a little RunDMC
4- focus cameras on the baptismal tank and role tape
5- ascend stairs to said tank
6- perform full out cannonball
7- post video on blog
I can’t have caffeine (no chocolate,soda,coffee) it gives me migraines, poor me.
I agree with your mom for long term.
For short term: Take a 15 minute nap (if possible)with your feet elevated. If you can’t do that try a short walk, something to get the blood flowing.
Tomorrow try some vitamins. B6 it a good energy booster. If you haven’t seen the sun in a couple days you may be short on D.
Or go visit your daughter down at her preschool. Kids are always energizing.
Dragonforce or Slayer?
Call it quits and take a nap!
Vitamins! A good multi-vitamin, taken everyday, normally helps me stay chipper.
I do this very rarely, but Sunkist. As gross as it sounds. It’s orange and full of caffeine and it does the trick. Lots of ice helps.
Also, loud, peppy music. Lots of talking. And yawning and breathing deeply both help you wake up, I’ve heard.
Yeah, I’m a college student…
meditate in prayer for about 10 min. bring light and energy into your body ..
if that doesnt work .. crawl your brown butt back into bed and try again tomorrow
the 20 minute nap always works for me!
I have to say that the 5 Hour Energy Drink works wonders. It was suggested to me by a friend that uses it to get through tough rehearsal weeks at a certain set of parks in the Orlando region.
I agree with him. It’s fantastic stuff. Gets me through my Sundays and through early morning shifts at Sbux.
A White Chocolate Mocha from Starbucks!
15 minute power nap
Fruit smoothie:
4 oz cranberry juice
6 oz orange juice
6 frozen stawberrys
10 blueberrys
1 tbsp molasses
1 tbsp flaxseed oil
1/2 frozen banana
1 tbsp liquid vitamins
Guaranteed to get the motor revved. 3 minutes of frantic pedaling on the stationary bike helps too.
This blog. LOL
A couple of excedrin and a Diet Coke with the lime.
Mornings that drag? I stay in bed. Benefits of working mostly nights.
adderall!!!!!!!!!
music …
as long as it gets me either
1.) thinking (as long as my mind is awake IM awake.
2.) upbeat (gets you to want to dance)
3.) weird (something i dont usually listen to
and last but not least .. GUM … it does the trick everytime
YES, Excersise, somehow get your heart rate up in the morning. I wake to a warm cup of coffee my husband delivers before he leaves for work, I sip that over the early show. When my cup is empty (about a half an hour later) I get on my bike and ride while whatching TV or pray or both. For 30 minutes. Heres the big secret though I learned from a personal trainer. Immediatly after the heart pumping excersise lye down flat on the floor with your lower legs up on the sofa or a chair and lay your arms out straight from your shoulders… (like Jesus on the cross) this is neutral position for your body. Stay there until your heart rate feels normal. (about 3-5 minutes) This allows much needed oxygen to pump to your brain so get up slowly and have a great day!!!!! Also VITAMINS!!!!!
Look within yourself.
Ask your body, “What can I do to keep you up?” Then do everything you can think of besides that one thing.
I sacrifice one hour of my day for an actual nap to reclaim the productivity in the rest of my day.
just listed some great coffee at
