My routine is like clockwork and one of my favorite times of the day…

    I set two alarms, one at 5am and another at 6am. The first alarm is lighter and less obtrusive, it’s just meant to nudge me and let me know that it’s getting close to waking up. I know myself and I know I’ll take a awhile to get up. Even the 6am alarm, louder and more jarring, I’ll hit snooze on. Then when 6:30am comes, it’s a flurry of activity getting myself up, stumble to the bathroom to pee, start prepping stuff for the morning, wake the kids up, get them ready, then rush out the door. It usually happens within the span of 45-55 minutes every morning.

  • Turn off my alarm, go back to bed with my phone and convince myself that I’ll just have a quick look at Lemmy, then decide to check the news and proceed to surf around the Internet for the next two hours until the threat of pissing myself forces me to finally get up and rush to the toilet.

      I’m taking a shit no matter what tasks await, as soon as I stand up gravity immediately activates a response😂

    It’s bad, but it’s a ritual I love: wake up, put on my bathrobe, shuffle over to my espresso machine, make myself a nice espresso or cappuccino, light up a smoke and cuddle with my cat a for a bit. Then when my brain wakes up as well, have a shower while my cat is screaming at me, horrified that I’m willing standing in water.

    Look for my phone in the bed honestly, then check telegram and browse socials until I finally get up to make a coffee

    Feed my asshole of a fish, who proceeds to ignore the food until it gets sucked up by the filter, and I have to put more in.

    Drink between four and six double shot espressos.

    Yes, I might have a bit of an addiction.

      Funny thing is that caffeine is a dependancy drug. Those espressos aren’t perking you up, they’re just bringing you back to normal.

      I found caffeine surprisingly easy to give up and unlike nicotine, I don’t miss it at all.

        I have 2 Delonghi Magnifica espresso makers, one is at 35,000 shots poured, the other is over 40,000. At this point, I figure my body is 25% caffeine molecules.

        Your statement is true to an extent (like anything), but using caffeine can be effective for improving focus and alertness, even over non-caffeine users.

        I find this guy to present an interesting and somewhat scientific perspective on things. I completely don’t do things the way he suggests, so bad on me. And my intake is way above his suggested amounts, obviously.

        And 100% on the nicotine thing, I’ve stopped drinking coffee for a few months at a time, and I’ve had nothing like the cravings I still get for nicotine a decade+ after I’ve quit. I fucking love smoking, I just don’t do it anymore.

    Pet the dog and cat, who are conspicuously glad I woke up.

    Tooth brushing is soon to follow because my mouth is always crap.

    Usually wake up at 8 to take ADHD medication and then sleep for an hour (I’ve heard that ADHD meds absorb better if you don’t eat in the hour before or after you take it, but this could be false). Then get up at 9, shower if I have to, get dressed, make breakfast watch YouTube and then get ready for work.

    On days I’m not working I do the same thing but I might shower later but I just won’t get ready for work because I don’t need to.
