Early Risers and Coffee Drinkers Unite!

[Draaz]

Ok. So this isn't just specifically for early risers and coffee drinkers, but you get the idea.

Are you an early riser like me who tends to check the forums before the sun even rises? And yet you find you have no one to talk to <sadface> Well - I have a solution! Let us congregate here, and chat away the early hours over a hot cup of coffee, tea, or what ever it is you wake yourself up with. (please.. nothing dirty)

As for me - Today my fuzzy children woke me up, chirping to be fed. Yes, my kittens chirp and it's by far the cutest thing :3 I poured myself a cup of coffee and now both of my kids are laying here, purring in my lap. I know.. it's not super early today, as I forced myself to get some extra sleep. For today, I get new ink.

How is everyone's morning going? Share your story to me :3

I'm not an early riser, but I am a coffee drinker.

On top of that I do tend to spend a considerable amount of time monitoring the forum for new posts in threads I'm following. Because of my "abnormal" schedule I tend to peruse the forums either when no one else is awake, or when no one else is at their computers. This tends to leave me browsing a forum with no responses to any of my posts. :(

Oh well, this is the price I pay for a good job doing something I enjoy I guess.

i don't  do morning very well, i'm always grumpy when i have to wake up  early. i'm like "uhh....*grumble* stupid mornings.grr....*gets a cup of coffee*"

BUT coffee on the other hand, is one of biggest addiction, epically with french Vanilla creme MURR *drools*

[Draaz]

Mrr. I use Vanilla Caramel creamer.. -drools all over her keyboard- ...

Hi Everyone...

Tell me more of this Earth thing called "morning."

(says the guy who has to be up at 7 every work day for work at 8... feh)

I love coffee, but caffeine does weird things to me these days so I drink decaf, unless I'm traveling for work and in a different time zone, in which case I drink the real stuff so I can function properly. Otherwise, my preference is for tea, occasionally, and those green tea lattes that Starbucks does.

[Some Guy]

lol first thing for me is a nice hot Starbucks Sumatra Blend coffee and a Cheese Scone or breakfast bagel.

sometimes i sleep in, and sometimes i dont cuz im up til about 4am working on this forum lol go figure.

[Wyrd-Hotd]

Ah, i used to be an early riser, now im a night owl (well... Dragon XD) considering as i look at my clock its 11:44... and this is normal for me, even though i go to school, and i work tomorrow T_T

[PurpleVeggie]

don't do coffee, don't sleep in but not an early raiser. I just go to bed early (say 9?) and sleep if I'm tired. Can't stand the smell of coffee/redbull/energy drinks of all sorts. but I do do tea, a great source of your daily requirements of caffeine ! ;D

[LudroLycandrel]

I"m trying to ween myself off energy drinks, thankfully I've had the worst tasting energy drink on the face of the planet, so that's a plus...

Recently of course I've discovered that a Grande Dark Chocolate Mocha will last me about 8hrs XD

[Silvermink]

I have to get up at the crack of 8 o'clock every weekday. :'(

I used to drink more coffee than I do now (though never more than a couple cups a day, really), but after a couple of unpleasant pulse-racing experiences, I've cut back quite a lot on my caffeine consumption.

[mArZiPaN!]

I like getting up really early sometimes like 4 or 5 am so peaceful and fine but the geting up at 7 am is hard luckily I only have to get up around 8 lately. As for caffeine I do enjoy coffee but am really picky about it and lately have become increasingly hooked on tea black, red green and herbal. nothing like a tea bag at work that i can refill from the hot water spout of the water cooler several times ftw.


Did you know it takes caffeine to hit the system about an hour, so when you have  coffee and one minute later you say wow good coffee it really woke me up it's the hot liquid and sugar (if you have sweetened coffee) that is doing that then the caffeine hits you later.

My mom always said I should drink more coffee since i need to stunt my growth >_>

I do love drinking coffee on those days where I'm having trouble waking up for school, especially if it has a hint of vanilla in it.  This year isn't so bad for me; last year I had to wake up at 5am/6am, this year I only need to wake up at 6am/8am.  I guess it's my own fault for choosing to go to school in another city >_>

Honestly though, this is the opposite of me.  I'd rather stay up till really early then sleep, rather than waking up really early.  Sadly school doesn't agree with my type of wanted sleep pattern.

I work at Starbucks... opening shifts start at 4:15am...
I can barely function without my caffeine. At least not happily...

I never start work later than 11am usually...
Usually up at 3:30 or 5:00am (at least consistantly)

HUZZAH

[librem]

I'm an early morning person myself, coffee company would rock.

[Star Wonder]

I rise and shine early before the sun is up on the weekends because of work. I will get up whenever the occasion calls for an early morning no matter how little sleep I get because coffee solves everything! Yesterday I had in all total 5 shots of expresso in my TALL cup of mocha from Starbucks. A twelve oz cup and four of that is just strait up shots... I love my coffee... I love adding hazelnut to it too! Mornings are fine for me, I even get up to see friends, and I love coffee. Woot!
