Don't drink coffee first thing in the morning! I get it, hot beverage that's bitter, helps wake you up; take a hot shower instead, maybe lightly scald some milk in a double boiler, anything but having caffeine too early! Caffeine interacts with the same receptors that the chemical that causes you to get sleepy and not think clearly interacts with, and consuming it early actually inhibits clearing your brain chemistry of that chemical! Wait two hours after waking up before having some, it's much better for you all around!
