WAKE UP! *slap*

I am NOT a morning person, expectedly. I have a hard time waking up when the alarm clock goes off, and I am completely reliant on my sleep button.

When I get into the office, I usually have a cup of coffee in hand. If I don't have that coffee, I am liable to drag all day long.

But taking a shower first thing out of bed always helps. Though I am notorious for just standing in the shower, half-asleep, enjoying the hot water, I can get my ass in gear in a matter of minutes.

On another note: I've had to pull all-nighters on the road while the passengers all slept. This is a very difficult task, as I need to stay nice and quiet and drive nice and smoothly while everyone gets their sleep for the night while I stay alert enough to drive in the dark on abandoned highways. It gets really....really hard to do.

I find that coffee usually won't help too much in these situations, so I stock up on Red Bull. I am rocking the night away when I have Red Bull for some reason. The drink is made of almost pure sugar in itself and tastes like shit, but it keeps me up and alert while driving through the night.

How ya doing, buddy?
