What do you guys do to wake up in the morning?

[wannabeanRN90]

I live about an hour away from my school and my classes start pretty early...I usually have trouble waking up in the mornings when I get up and as I am getting ready. Also, clinicals at 6:30am are starting soon so any tips would be greatly appreciated..

I have 3 alarms that are set 10 mins apart...2 to actually start moving around in the bed and the 3rd one is on the dresser which force me to acctually get up. By that time the Community Coffee is already brewing (timer). Then I shower with some really great music. The music really helps. Then I get my coffee and irish cream with 2 splendas and I'm good to go!

I am not a morning person, I hate morning classes. I can barely wake up because I sleep best in the morning. I sleep very late and I wake up very early. The only thing that helps me wake up is my alarm clock, coffee doesn't work for me. I just force myself to get up just because I don't want to miss a class, and If I don't go to class I know I will fail. This is the reason I love summer, now I can sleep all day and stay up all night lol.
