Had to become a morning person this semester (early classes). My tactics are twofold:
Coffee by the bed. Literally within about two feet. I'm a little crazy, so I've hacked my coffee machine together, but programmable store-bought stuff works too.
iPhone by the bed. It's really bright, I hold it a few inches from my face and start going through my RSS reader. Gets my mind in gear and my pupils to contract.
- c3o 18y agoFor those who don't drink coffee: Taking even just a single sip of a carbonated beverage right after turning off the alarm has worked well for me.
- colinplamondon 18y agoThis is my favorite HN comment ever- rushed to the kitchen and moved my coffemaker into the bedroom as soon as I read it. Can't wait to wake tomorrow and have coffee within reach!
- krav 18y agoI bought one of those pod coffee machines. Set it up next to my alarm clock. (In theory), when I stumble over to my alarm clock to shut it off, I just hit the button on the machine and my coffee is ready in 4 seconds. Usually, by the time I get up to snooze it a second time, the coffee is sitting there, smelling all coffee-like (yummy). That's my Pavlovian trick.
