What gets you up and moving in the mornings?

[*Lady_Kikyo*]

What gets you motivated to get out of bed everyday? Wheather it be coffee.. espresso.. cold shower.. kick in the behind.. anything.. what gets you moving?


For me, it would have to be knowing that I have to get my kids up and ready for school, and my shower. I rely on my shower to wake me up. But what keeps me going is coffee,.. oh how I love my coffee. But its only a winter thing, the summer I dont drink it as much. ^.^

[Adirondackanimefreak025]

What gets me up in the morning? My alarm! Then a shower...then hot tea.

[Jmosies]

I'm really not a morning person but, a shower definitely helps.

[-GAZKUL-]

A large cup of coffee

[Dr. Evil]

Hazelnut coffee, a Marlboro Smooth, and an ice cold shower and the song Master Of Puppets (live) by Metallica! Its all my morning routine.

[TheyCallMeFei]

I'm not a morning person at all..

I set multiple alarms, have a room mate that is a light sleeper and always wakes me up by telling me to turn them off, and need to take 15 minute showers at the very least to wake myself up. I only get out of bed through sheer force of will.

[Elukien]

I'm not a morning person, i tend to sleep though the mornings. But when i have to go to college, I usually have someone come into my room and pull off my duvet. The sudden coldness wakes me up and the consist nagging.

[Elphaba]

My alarm usually but sometimes I put on my own mp3 player that helps even more. :]

[Uncanny X-Man]

Going out to wait for the bus, cold morning air is nice.

[Kanjoudakai_Ira]

Nothing. I drag my corpse around with the deepest disgust for life.

[Genghis Beatrix]

My daughter crying.

Nuff said.

[Eris]

Tremendous amounts of willpower, and then coffee.

[Hideki Motosuwa.]

A shower, some breakfast... and the fact that I have to get up for work, otherwise I won't make any money to survive. I don't need an alarm clock (not that I'm a morning person), I've just gotten used to waking up at the same time every morning.

[blueangel06661]

Nothing except that I really don't have a choice but to get up drag myself to school. I usually don't do much in the mornings except get online and get dressed. I usually don't wake up till about my 2nd class.

[Token Black Guy]

Multiple alarms with different ringtones, coffee/tea/occasional energy drink, heavy metal on max volume, and maybe play Doom 3 or Metal Gear Solid(The alert "!" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThIBvsml_us&feature=related) noise scares me awake.). Maybe i should burn me a cd wth the Metal Gear Solid alert sound with some of the music. That should work good on me.

[.Tatty.]

Like a good Welshman, a cup of Instant Coffee, A good imagination of the bleak day ahead, and a fag.

[Anoleis]

The possibility of killing someones dreams......
Oh the joy =w=

[Miss Moonlight]

One of these:

- alarm
- the phone
- loud noises
- the urge to pee?
- someone waking me up
- the need to be somewhere

[Shinn Kamiyra]

Coffee and other such drinks only go so far for me. Exercise is my best wake-me-up. Jumping, running, swinging my sword a hundred+ times.

[Ramona Flowers]

Depends.
Adderall
Or the drive to get up and jog
My daughter

[Acnologia]

Breakfast.

[Kyubi-no-kitsune]

lots and lots of caffine or my big old siberian husky running then jumping on my bed and licking my face

[[@.@]]

someone coming in and throwin a wet towel at my face

[Meenah]

A text from my boyfriend, going to the shower and having a good glass of apple juice. Best way to start my morning. (: Especially when its quiet, too.

[::SomeOtherCookiez::]

I'm not really much of a morning person, especially Monday mornings. marrr...
What gets me up and moving in the mornings is having breakfast.

[Tailedfox]

I like to wake up early in the morning.... at most 6 AM... take my bath and then breakfast, that is the exact thing I need in the morning...

[Rei]

I'm not a morning person, really. Most of the time I stay up till about three playing games on school days, so what gets me up is the cruel reality of school at nine in the morning.

[Luluka]

I rarely get up in the morning.. ^^;
even alarm can't help me..let alone my mp3 player in my ear.. o,o
so..one thing that cud wake me up..someone must knock my door really hard..
my bed is near the door so I shud hear it..but..sometimes it didn't work.. -,-

[Kaname Shikara]

Nothing XD this is my day: I just get up, get dressed, get online for a few minutes, leave for college, come home, finally get something to eat or drink, getting back online, homework, having parents bug me forever, try to relax, more homework, then....either online or sleep(Unless I plan on staying up all night to watch anime or draw) XD

[Anuket]

I'm not a morning person at all. The only thing that gets me up is my mom shouting at me or my stomach begging for food.

[wolfgirl90]

I'm a morning person, so I don't need much to get me up and going (well, except a good night's sleep; that always helps). In fact, between ROTC and working on a truck dock, my body is pretty much programmed to wake up at 6 AM.:)

[Bibi of the Blue Sea]

Coffee. Plain, hot, and black. I also require a slap or two in the face. And it gets worse if Sleepy-Bibi hasn't had her full 10 hours. My sleep personality is very mean and kicks/ punches people who try to wake me. But Coffee will always get me up.

[Jeffari]

I set my alarm for 6:45 but have become accustom to just naturally waking up (only if i manage to get more than 6 hours of sleep, damn anime! xD) I never shower in the morning as i enjoy the 10-15 extra minutes of sleep. Being that I'm a guy, I can simply get up and be out the door in 5 minutes. I Grab my Black coffee on the way to work and I'm good for nine hours.

[Infinita]

Well, during school, I am forced out of my bed at 7am to get to class at 8:30. I normally get up, have breakfast, brush my teeth, go on the computer for a bit and then start getting dressed for the walk to the college. Nothing fantastic about the start of the day. I live for my afternoons, I am done class, I relax and I get to see my significant other by that time.

During the holidays, I sleep in, get up maybe at a decent time, relax, visit my parents and later on, if more family is around, I go visit them.

[Mac]

Next doors' music. -_-

which 9/10 I go to bed listening to.


.... so annoying.

On a more serious note, I'm really not a morning person at all so often I will just stay in bed and sleep/daydream for an hour or so more than I really should be. It's just when I get bored of trying to sleep (but obviously not sleeping) that I get up and go make a drink.

x_x

[Aulos]

I'm alive. What other reason do I need?

There's also the fact that I can't sleep much anymore. I went from sleeping in until 2 PM during the summer of 2007, to not being able to sleep past 10 AM now. o_O It's for the best, though. Sleeping in until 2 PM was crazy, I only did it a few days. lol

[SigmaSD]

It depends:
-Chocolate milk
-my brother or cousin sneaking into my room to play my game. -____-
-The smell of food
-Starfish
-Urge to go to the bathroom
-text message
-the urge to kill

btw, I am a morning person all the way.

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

What gets me up?
-Alarm Clock.
-My mom when she yells "Levantate, dormilon!!" Like those Hispanic ladies.

What gets me moving?
-My feet.

[Armageddon]

Anything..

That contains high levels of caffeine.. Plus. Techno // Rave music.

And if it is cold... That blistering wind that seems to just get right under your skin ! D:

[MirrorToTheMoon]

I hate my mornings, so it takes a long time for me to actually get up. >.>
What usually happens is I wake up, roll around in bed for half an hour, then I get up.. then I'm late for school. >.>
..well, it could be worse. I had to vacuum my brother to get him to wake up once.

[~*Red*~]

My girlfriend <3

[John Watson]

Well first of all my alarm wakes me up, and it takes alot of willpower for me to fall back asleep! -.-' But usually a nice, hot shower will wake me right up~! =P

[DarkPrinceBman]

I am a terrible morning person. I'd say that my day normally starts around 11am, if I don't have to work. Yet there are two days a week that i need to be up at 7am and for that I have a usual routine.

1)The night before fill the coffee maker
2) Wake up by tossing and thrashing in bed
3) Sing a long to the song I choose
4) Drink coffee (and smoke but I dont know if I can say that)

and that is how I have been starting my day for three years

[Stella Loussier]

Maybe a cold shower or coffee usually gets me up.

[Hugo-Kof]

Setting my alarm at 6:00 am. Warm up, jog a few miles (after that, I am more than awake), and do a couple of push ups and sit ups (in other words, a little bit of work out). After that, a shower and breakfast. I do this mostly one weekdays. On weekends, sometimes I feel like taking a break and wake up a little late (around 10 or 11 am)

[Hikarin]

Coffee!!! .... That or realising that it's 12:00 already.... ehehe ^^; *rubs head*

[blackdreams]

i hate mornings but weekday knowing i have school but on weekends my dogs wanting out or being really really hungry

[Matty]

I rely on my shower to wake me up. But what keeps me going is coffee,..
Amen to that kikyo, the ALL MIGHTY STARBUCKS! Lol, but also my cell phone works good. Like most the alarm does nothing for me, usually relentless texting noises on my phone usually wakes me up. Weird that I could unplug my alarm clock with my toes while sleeping, but a simple text sound could pull me out of a deep sleep. Whatever works I guess

[Aleyna]

Any sort of juice, flavored water, or fruit flavored pop.
After I drink something, then I turn on the music and dance.
Dancing never fails at waking me up! ^_^

[Skilero]

For some reason the alarm clock's pinging is enough to get me 100% awake.

This can be attributed to my diet? Or maybe that I get eight hours of sleep? I'll go with all of the above.

[Kusuke]

This. As long as my alarm clock is on the other side of my room... I'm good. Once it's off, I'm up and I have never once been able to go back to sleep.

[Mattey]

=) My cellphone playing Gives you hell by The all American Rejects from my best friend calling telling me to go to school and then i go to school and ussualy catch up with some girls in my class walking with them to school and the joy when i renember that they have large boobs :laugh: and that when i look at them i renember the party we have nearly every weekend and that the guys and my best friend dont bothers comming to the party so that im the only guy there ;) well the rest of the story is kinda a secret :laugh:

Edit: btw im 14 so no drinking :P and no ehm *Censored* lol

[Aku no Hikari]

Alarm clocks have a better luck shattering walls with their sound than making me wake up.

The only way in the world that can make me wake up early is sleeping early. I wake up automatically. (Ridiculously early... like 4 AM)

[Xieshunnuan]

A hot shower and a shot of caffeine.

[MiscPsychopath]

My friend opening the closet door gets me up 100% of the time. >.< I hate it when she does that.

[Meteorkeeper]

After I am jutted out of a deep sleep by my alarm clock I always take a shower make breakfast and watch some anime while I eat.
Oddly enof it’s the anime that wakes me up the most.

[CMNDR_Spinxie]

The need to pee. x.x

[Uta-chan~]

I'm very much a morning person and wake up really early and never sleep in past 8am. O__O If I don't wake up by 6am, my dog comes and jumps on my bed and starts licking my face >w< I would say that I'm the one who wakes up everyone. One time I played bass early in the morning and had the amp up. Mom was maaaaad. XD;;

But if I do have to wake up by alarm, it'd be playing the super mario theme. XD

[Shini]

Nothing. Better bring Gallagher's mallet and a police siren if you're serious about this.

[Penshiru]

Getting up and seeing my bed hair. That gets me wide awake to shower and look sexxy for school ;)

[brolyx74]

I wake up to my alarm around 4 am, then fully wake up to sxephil, music from glee, anime, or shows from the night before.

[Senjou_Akira]

the watch that indicates i'm late

[Xeyuzio]

It's usually my homework. xD

[╬Karami Mew~Meow]

Hmm before I sleep, I do a quick agenda of the many things I have to do, and when I wake up, I remember I have a lot to do, so I get up eagerly. Then wash my face usually wakes me up too.

[Inactive Account 0061]

The fact that if I don't get up and go to work I'm going to lose my apartment, which is the only thing I've ever gotten for all my fights and hardships :3 nuff said.

[Light Buster]

1) Video Games

or

2) Alarm Clock/Waking up on my own.

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

[Blue Footed Booby]

Coffee. And fish!

[AVAlution]

Hot cup of coffee and a little math/physics homework always gets me up and moving. Without it I'm like a vegetable.

[The Wing Man]

Someone yelling at me):

[animegirl2365]

I wake up every morning at 6:00am then
I walk down stairs turn the tv to Mtv and
start dancing and singing along with the music vids.

[Todd]

I can barley get up in the morning... Unless it's the summer or the weekend. But during weekdays for school, it's my mother yelling in my ear to get up or she's leaving me home... Ugh.

Oh and waking up to Linkin Park! Listening to Linkin Park soothes me.

[Fuu Kasumi]

My phone alarm used to wake me up with a variety of songs, but now that I graduated high school I won't have to wake up as early as I used to (at least for a few months, anyway).

Other than an alarm, these usually get me up:
-the urge to pee
-intense hunger
-my dogs barking
-someone texting me

[chachaboru]

a shower!!! it wakes me up....

[eternal_elk]

My cat. I can sleep through an alarm clock but her mewing will murder me good enough.

[miniPhil]

The fear that someone will bump a really old thread on AF-OH NOES!

[kilokitsune]

some how i just wakeup . but nothings better than hoping on my fixgear and riding up to tha coffee shop for my latte

[Athena]

Coffee and nothing but.

[Nesh]

The alarm....Yup schools calling!
