I always have a cup of tea in the morning (yes, i know, very English), not because i particularly like tea; i just think that trying to lie in bed whilst holding a full cup of dangerously hot liquid is a good way to stop me lazing about all morning.

Assuming you don't count posting on a web forum as 'lazing'

Anyone else have a good 'wake-up' plan?

**Cheese Elemental**

1. Wake up to alarm at 6am.
2. Get back in bed for 5 more minutes.
3. Get up again and drink coffee.
4. Breakfast, usually muesli or sultana bran.
5. Get dressed+brush teeth.
6. Clean glasses and sigh to myself as I reflect on how crappy my coffee was.

**Anshal**

1. Get up and prepare for a new day
2. Coffe in insane amounts to kick start ym system.
3. Eat, normaly bread or cereal

**SagesStone**

1. Get up and prepare for the new day

That's basically it, sometimes I have to do to uni, sometimes I don't. But I rarely ever eat breakfast

**Leigen_Zero**

Wake up 7-8am
Have a shower and get dressed
Have breakfast + coffee (can't survive the day without coffee anymore)
realise today is exactly the same as yesterday
Go about my day disheartened
Go home
Do any uni work I have to do/relax
Go to sleep, hoping tomorrow will be different...

**Emperors Faithful**

1. Wake up just as the sun rises.
2. Get my gear and head down to the beach.
3. Go for a swim or (if the surfs any good) grab my bodyboard.
4. Walk back, and do my morning exercise. (Push ups, squats, chin up ect)
5. Take a cold shower outside.
6. Make Breakfast. Preferably bacon and eggs.

7. Get ready for school. (Or laze if it's the weekends)
8. If I get enough time in before my brothers then I post for about 10-15 minutes on Dakka.

Are you Kei$ha?

**BishopGore**

I have no routine. If my girlfriend works early I get up at 6am and play Computer Games until 7, if she works late then I get up later and stumble about blearily until I am ready.

But I eat breakfast after I get to work (if at all) and I don't imbibe caffiene at any point during my day (except once or twice a month when I have a Diet Coke).

**mattyrm**

I shower at 0615, dress and eat a small breakfast, brush my teeth and leave the house at 0645.

I never drink tea or coffee in a morning as i always read about people getting addicted to caffeine and "needing" it to wake up. I like a few cups of tea after work though.

I wake up just fine.

Can tell you were a soldier

That's one of the reasons I avoid caffiene, the idea of needing a drug just to function each day is an awful concept to me.

**Gitzbitah**

1.Wake up at 5am.
2. Is this a sleepy day? If so, snooze 15 minutes. If not, get up.
3. Let dogs out.
4. Start the tea kettle.
4. Yell at dogs to stop barking and hustle them back inside.
5. Make tea.
6. Look at webcomics and occasionally the morning news on the comp.
7. Make lunch for my wife and amyself at about 5:30.
8. Am I stinky? If so, shower at 5:45. If not, enjoy reading a book of some sort until 6.
9. Get dressed, grab lunch and possibly tea kiss my wife goodbye and do any last minute things she needs done.
10. Leave between 6:15 and 6:30.

Damn. You uncovered my secret. I play with little toy soldiers when I'm not chilln' with P-diddy.

You're a man after my own heart.

My mornings are roughly the same, being an out-of-work student living with his parents. Wake up at 11:00, look at the clock, see if the dogs are sleeping in my bed, and go back to sleep for an hour. Then I drag myself out of bed, pop a can of Mountain Dew and make myself some lunch. (I know, I should drink coffee to wake myself up, but I can't stand the taste)

**chromedog**

1. Get up. Get wife up also.
2. Make my usual quad espresso coffee*, allow to cool slightly and down it while I contemplate the day ahead. Wife leaves for work.
3. Have breakfast (cereal usually) with another coffee* (only a double this time).
4. Do household chores, troll the net during quiet moments, do some model-making/painting/etc.
5. Take lunch to wife (she works a 10 minute walk away).

* drunk unsweetened and without milk/whiteners of any kind. Coffee is supposed to be black and bitter. It makes life so much brighter by comparison.

**dogma**

My actual morning varies considerably, as my work schedule has me up at odd hours. Generally I'm supposed to work an 8 on 8 off schedule, but other commitments mean that I'm often forced to work double, or triple shifts in order to get all my hours in. In the case of triple shifts that translates as 8 a.m. to 8 a.m. On those days my 'morning' takes place at about 3:30 p.m.

The only constant is breakfast, usually protein bars, and some form of energy drink, usually Monster. I go through a couple cases of that stuff every month, good thing I can get them at cost through my gym's supplier.

I used to work at a bar in Manchester; and this is the perfect way to drink coffee in the morning. Add a shot of vanilla vodka if you need to chase off a hangover though

**chromedog**

I haven't had a hangover in years - and like my coffee to taste only of coffee. I'll just do the shot of vodka first and use the coffee as a chaser.

Then again, I mainly drink beer, good Irish whisky and some cognac now and then (and never enough to get plastered).

**warpcrafter**

1: Awaken sometime between 3pm and 5 pm, usually whenever the cats decide they need more food and/or water or want to go outside.
2: Throw leftovers in the microwave.
3: Drink large glass of volt or cherry mountain dew.
4: Eat aforementioned leftovers while checking Dakka, Above Top Secret and I Can Has Cheezburger.
5: Turn on the TV and watch CNN until it's time for one of my prime-time shows.

If I'm up at the crack of noon, it's not a good idea to say anything to me that you expect me to remember or hold me to the answer of any question elicited from me, as I'm on autopilot. I've answered the door in my tighty whities enough times that the neighbors leave me alone.

**squilverine**

**Dreadwinter**

I generally wake up at about 1:20 PM. Have to leave for work by 1:30PM. So I get a 10 minute shower in and leave. Get to work by 2PM.

I generally drink a soda on the way to work. I cannot eat in the mornings. It makes me sick.
