I have rarely "rise and shined" myself. I go for the caffeine when I get up.

Rise and WHAT?

Impossible, just rising is a monumental task let alone even trying shine that soon after rising. If not for my morning cup of tea very very strong mind you I would not even rise. I prefer a super strong black tea, double steeped and just sugar about a spoonful. This for a 10 oz cup.

Me, I'm a porridge person. 1 small mug-full of porridge oats to 2 sim. mugs water. 7 mins in microwave and ladle it out of bowl into a smaller table-sized bowl. Sprinkle demerara sugar sparingly and add fresh milk. Wonderful. I cannot tolerate sugar in either tea or coffee, curiously. With coffee I'll have 2 thin slices of brown Irish soda-bread + butter. Nothing else. (Coffee beans hand picked from the middle south-facing slopes North of Manaos, Brazil, of course)

Then I have arisen !

I used to drink about double the amount of coffee most Swedes drink - that is to say I'd drink coffee like a real Fin.

I got loads of leg cramps in my legs as I got older and then read somewhere that coffee is a main culprit for those, quit drinking it over night and the cramps went away within a week. That was a little over a year ago now.

So to say the least, my morning routine is still out of wack. I replaced coffee with just warm(boiled) water.

Seb,
As a lifetime competitive rower I learned early on that severe exercise tends to cause leg cramps afterwards due to a lack of magnesium in the muscles. Magnesium is readily available off the shelf at all chemists and a 500mg tablet of same will successfully ward off the dreaded painful muscle cramps.

Magnesium salts are lacking in most foods, but I believe bananas contain more than most. Easier to swallow a pill.

Yeah, Coffee drains out (among other salts)magnesium, for me it helped to cut the coffee rather than add supplements - I also sleep better so I guess that's good too.
