I'm perky... without caffeine, even!!

I am all fucking kinds of happy because I made it to work on time this morning.

My real morning problem is getting out of bed in the first place more than anything else. I am Queen of the Snooze Button. But when I finally got up, I took some of your suggestions -- putting on music (I picked Johnny Cash) and eating breakfast. I am convinced that the breakfast is the difference -- having it first thing rather than waiting till I get to work. I am perky fucking wired.

Also I got to bed earlier last night, though I fell asleep before I could take the melatonin and valerian.

Exercise in the mornings is a great idea, but I doubt I can pull it off. My latest way to add exercise is going out in the street in front of the house at night (it's a quiet residential neighborhood) and pacing while I talk on the phone. It's much better than attempting to hold a signal in the apartment, and the conversation distracts me. I can go for a while that way. Must keep doing this. It could be half an hour a night at least, usually more.

Anyway... perky perky perky. Thanks for all the help, guys! *hugs*

I think my body would go into shock if I started eating breakfast before I went to work. :)

*yawn*

Can you forward some of that energy over here?

HEY!! I like that phone exvercise thing - I think I will steal it! Thanks, Kelli :)

Eating first thing in the morning does the same thing for me, but I have no idea why. It's like my body decides this is a signal that the day has started and perks right up.

Anyway, glad to hear that you're feeling more energetic!

There really is perty darn reliable research that states that eating an apple for breakfast will wake you up quicker, keep you up longer and not give you the crash down that caffeine does.

I still drink a coke every morning, though. And food makes my stomach sad in the morning.
