Whether you’re driving, walking, or riding the subway, it’s pretty hard to stay awake—especially when it’s 8 a.m. Ugh. All I can say is this: humans were definitely not made to get up this early.

In fact, we bet that you’ll be so awake that you won’t need that morning cup of Joe! (Unless you’re addicted to caffeine of course… In that case, we say you have our permission to go ahead and drink your coffee. We must warn you though: Drinking and head bobbing takes some serious skill…)
Happy commuting!
