Having trouble feeling fully awake until hours after getting out of bed. help?

Question

During the school year I generally get anywhere from 5-8 hours of sleep a night, because of the extracurricular activities and advanced classes I am involved in. I wake up at about 6:20, which is cutting it close enough as it is, having to leave for school at 6:50. However I find that it is not until around noon that I am fully awake and able to participate in conversations and listen the best in class, and by the time I go to sleep I am still wide awake... I have tried drinking coffee in the morning to wake myself up but can't stand the taste or smell. Are there any other ways that I could wake up before leaving the house?

Also, yes I do eat breakfast, usually about 1.5 servings of Bran Flakes.

Answer 1

TRY EXERCISE TO GET YOUR HEARTBEAT UP LIKE JUMPING JACKS OR JUMPING ROPE.
COFFEE WILL CAUSE YOU A RISE IN WAKEFULNESS, BUT A FALL WHEN COFFEE WEARS OFF IN A FEW HOURS.
