RE: Morning alertness??
usually the physical exertion of getting to my stand gets the blood pumping. I am a natural morning person as it is. I am usually in the office a good hour before anyone else, i get more work done in that hour than i do at any other time of the day.
If you arent normally an early riser try to start getting up 15 minutes early each day as hunting season approaches to condition your body to be alert at the crack of dawn. I get up between 4:30 and 4:45 every day, when the weekend rolls around i almost always wake up at that time even if the alarm isnt set. I try to go back to sleep but generally i am up and moving by 6:00
