Five Things That Wake You Up Quicker Than Coffee on National Coffee Day

Today is National Coffee Day. I hate coffee!! There are few things is this world that taste as disgusting to me as coffee. I just don't understand the love affair with that hot, bitter, awful tasting stuff. I am convinced that the reason people drink it to wake up is because it tastes so awful that it wakes up your face. If you want to mess up a dessert like ice cream, put coffee flavor in it and you will make it inedible to me.

Neither Todd or I drink coffee or alcohol, which an extreme rarity for morning DJ's. I know lots of friends and family members who will warn you not to even try to communicate with them until they have had a cup or two of their wake up juice. Believe it or not there are other ways to wake up in the morning that work even better and quicker than coffee. I am here to help in case you need some alternatives.

5 - Pour the coffee on your groin.

I think it is a better use of the coffee. It takes like a hot oil spill so why not use it where it is most effective..on your pants instead of on your taste buds.

4 - Walk through a spider web.

There are few things in the world that will get your heart racing and get you moving for the day than a good case of the heebies from feeling a web hit your face.

3 - Ride your motorcycle to work.

Want to feel alive right away to start your day? Jump on your bike or motorcycle and ride. That wind in your face and the heart pumping excitement of riding will pop your eyes wide open.

2 - Eat an apple.

This one really does work. Instead of reaching for a cup of Joe, reach for a crisp tasty apple. It wakes up your mouth and gets your body working right away. Try it!

1- Step on a Lego or little green army man.

This joyful feeling has been waking stumbling parents for years. Make sure your kids don't pick up their toys before bed so you can have that joyous, pain filled scream to start your day. Once you injure your foot...you are up for the day.
