If you drink coffee every day, the heart may pound. For that there are some alternatives you can do when you wake up in the morning :

In theory, the body will be fitter when the loss of body fluids that occurs during sleep immediately replaced at least with a glass of water when you wake up. Some studies says that green tea is as effective as water in restoring hydration status, while providing a calming effect.

3. Do a physical activity 
Some people can just wake up when I read the newspaper. But if you continue to feel lazy and sleepy, trying to do activities that are more physically active. such as cooking or cleaning bed.

4. Breakfast 
Do not eat breakfastcan make your metabolism system out of balance. So that the body runs out of energy. The consequences of lack of energy is the body felt weak, less passionate and of course easy to feel sleepy.

5. Sleep Schedule 
Long-term solution for those who often feel sleepy and lazy to wake up soon is the disciplined pattern of sleep every day. Allowing myself to make up for the lack of sleep in a bed all day on weekends will only exacerbate sleep disturbances.
