Every morning my mom used to drink instant coffee. The smell of it wakes me up because it covers the air in our house. I do not know why my nose is so delicate on the fragrance of anything and this smell of the coffee really i cannot resist every day to wakes me up and I too will automatically make my own cup. How about you, what wakes you up?

Well dreams do come true if you have willingness to really acquire it. Hard work, perseverance and motivation, you can do it and make it. I will pray for your success.

My alarm clock wakes me up every morning. I always see to it that I have set the alarm every night so that I won't be late. The man driving our service vehicle seems to be grouchy. He only talked to me once and he was angry with me for coming late. He said he had to wait for me for almost 30 minutes and we ended up being late that day. But I really think that it wasn't because of me but it is because of the newly opened supermarket along the way. He said that I have to be on the location at 5:20 in the morning and earlier if it is a Monday. He is so scary so I always make sure that I wake up when the alarm rings.

That is actually what I am currently doing. I wake up around four in the morning and leaves the house at 5:15 so that when he arrives, I am already at the location. Too bad since I no longer have time to eat breakfast and he doesn't want people eating inside the car.

Try to set your alarm clock 5am earlier than what you did. Have an early sleep so that your wake up time would be earlier and the driver that waits for you would be happy for doing so. Thank you.

Normally, I used to ask my wife to close the doors of the kitchen in the morning as the small of snacks and the other stuff smere into the bed room. In fact, I don't like any small as such in the bed room as it will get irritated. Whatever it may be, I will get up at 7:15 in the morning on working days and I will sleep so late to get up also late by 9-9:30 on Sat & Sunday, but may be because of the pleasure of holiday, I would get up 6 or 7 on these days.

Good for you, you have your own normal way of setting goals on waking during weekdays and weekend. It is such a good habit of rising the way we feel right after the rest of the night. Thank you.

Well, aside from the superficial wake up that my cellphone alarm gives me my daily exercise routine is the one that really makes me wake up during the mornings. Whenever I get up, usually I will have the feeling that I am still in my bed. That is why, first thing in the morning is I get up and do some breathing exercises and stretching. Then right off, I go drink a glass of water, wash my face and brush my teeth. Then after I will do heavy exercises to further wake me up and energize me. Exercise helps circulates blood and oxygen supplying the whole body and brain of their needs. This in turn wakes you up better than anything else.

Well I am not used to do exercise because I have a my first degree AV block that is when I do some exercise I sometimes cannot breath. so after waking up I do my watering the plants in the backyard then take a bathed.

Waking up in the morning is a difficult task, especially if your body is used to waking up late. I suggest you make a solid routine, by sleeping early. This will help you in the long term. If you sleep early and wake up early your body will remain fresh and active throughout the whole day.

yes, thank you I will try your suggestion because I used to sleep very late almost every night. That is what I thought off by not having longer time of sleeping, so I sleep always late 11am usually.

It sounds very romantic for you to wake up because of the nice smell of the coffee. My wake-up way is quite normal. I set a few alert clocks in my cellphone and it will wake me up at different time to make sure I can get out from the bed at last:) I love China

We have different ways of how our body is used in waking up as early as 4 in the morning. Some use the alert clocks and mostly the cellphone but for me I am used to it already.

hi uolyram as I live in a retirement center I get a loud speaker call at the ungodly time of 6 am and he bellows "Good morning" and I add a surly good morning back thinking wow wish I could just sleep in one morning but since I am given a whole handful of pills at the 7am breakfast I must go down and eat. at 85 I thought I had earned the right to get up later but guess not.oh well sometimes I do go back to bed for an hour or so.

That age does matter waking up early just for drinking your pills. How strong of you reaching that age is so very thankful and there is no need to bother the time you wake up. At least after drinking the pills and the breakfast you can go back to sleep because no more work to worry. You can relax anytime. Thank you for sharing.

Wow, I believe your instant coffee is very aromatic In my case, during school weekdays, my son's watch's alarm that wakes me, followed by my sister car engine as she left for work. However, I totally agreed with you that a cup of deliciously intance/brewed coffee can wakes anyone up anytime of the day.

Yes, the aroma of the coffee bothers me every morning, I can not resist the smell so it is my alarm to wake up and do the morning chores before my daughters wake up for school. Thanks for your response.

Reading your post I remember the lines in a coffee commercial. Lol. Anyway, I wake up each morning because I need to go to work. I need to wake up early to take a bath, eat breakfast and make sure everything my son's needs is in place.

Maybe that is my mothers way of waking me up because she has done that since I was small until now that I already had my family and my mother is living with me and wakes up very early.

Hi there, What wakes me up is my alarm that I set so that I'd get up early and won't be late for work. If I won't do it I am sure I won't be able to rise and just be sleeping. I'd like to have coffee in the morning too =) but I usually drink it only after I took bath and get dressed up.

Yes,I too drink coffee after I took a bath but my mother drinks her coffee very early while she is doing something in the kitchen. She is just in the house so she took a bath 10am before preparing the lunch.

That sounds very good because it also happened to me when I have my baby. Kids wake up so early to ask for milk so that time my daughter is my alarm clock.

Do you mom normally make her coffee around the same time every morning? Then I am guessing it is your "body clock" that is waking you up. I always wake up around 5-6 ish in the morning everyday, no matter what time I went to bed the day before, or where I am (even in hotel). I like the idea to wake up with the smell of fresh coffee, it could be very refreshing.

No sometimes 4am or 4:30am when she fells to drink her hot coffee as early as that. It is her routine habit of drinking coffee every morning when she wakes up. That is what my mom doing.

Hi, I always wake up to the sound of chickens in the yard and the music of radios in the neighborhood. We have a quiet community in spite of the congested housing, roof to roof, wall to wall. It is really a matter of mutual understanding: no loud noises after ten in the evening and before six in the morning.

I always put wake up call in my mobile phone. The song it will play in the morning wakes me up from the bed and do the things quickly on that day.

Yes, that is what I used to hear from my office mate to make their mobile phone do the wake up call. That sounds great to hear music that wakes you up. Thank you for sharing.
