I usually drink a few cups of coffee before I head out to my stand. When I first starting hunting, I often found myself falling asleep in my stand. A few times I've seen fresh tracks right in front of the box stands I was hunting in, which really sucked. When I get the chance to hunt mornings, I try to get as many hours of sleep as I can. Sometimes when I wake in the morning I will decide whether or not I should go if I'm tired. If I'm in my stand and start getting sleepy, I'll focus on something that will keep my attention. Squirrels and other animals are usually always out an about. If there's nothing to get me focused, I'll tell myself that there is a monster buck working his way to my stand, this usually gets me to focus harder and stay awake. I've never had a problem when I get up and drink a few cups of coffee and cook a nice breakfast before I head out.
