Good Advice: When The Alarm Goes Off, Get Up

You'd think most people would have this down, but some good advice this morning. When your alarm goes off, GET UP! It's what The Mike & Carla Morning Show were talking about this morning. All since this video on Tik Tok went viral.

A nurse talking about just that and how it might not be good for your mental health. The video has gone viral and nurse Jordon has a very simple explanation. She says, "Excess cortisol levels make you gain and hang on to weight. So when the alarm goes off, it's time, get up. You'll look and feel better!"

Now we get it might not be that easy for some! For example, Mike O'Brian and Carla Rea have been getting up early for decades. As such, they have admitted that most the time, they wake up before the alarm goes off.

Of course, keep in mind that they do not go back to sleep. Neither of them slap the snooze alarm either. Even on weekends and vacation, the two of them seem to get up early...we're talking like 4am to 5am. Hey, when your body has been trained one way, it's hard to flip the switch and go the other way.

Mike told the story of an old morning show partner that had a tough time waking up. In fact this person told him that she had 5 alarms going off in the morning. Maybe, just maybe they're not a morning person...you think?

We're guessing that being a morning person...or even a night owl, you have to get into a mental frame of mind. As we get older, both Mike & Carla admit it's tough to stay out late, then expect to rise and shine the next morning. Even on weekends or, as we said before, on vacation.

Even an article in EarlyBird/Amerisleep, talks about the negative impact of hitting the snooze alarm on your clock. The negative impact it has on even your sleep cycle and how it can throw you all off.

Listen to the segment from this morning and decide what you think...does all this make sense? What works for you? Everyone is different!

I think it's safe to say that coffee is often a saving grace. And Las Vegas coffee shops have definitely helped us recover after a night out.

It's truly the perfect beverage that's available in multiple mediums. Hot, iced, sweet, bitter, frothy or blended; coffee can quench any type of caffeine craving.

Coffee is also a ritual for many of us, often signifying as the gong that starts our day. When we smell the brewing beans and hear the bubbling noise of the carburetor, memories are often pulled from the back of our minds about cornerstone moments in our lives.

Along with the memories and conversations that are associated with the amazing beverage, coffee is also a symbol in many cultures. Whether it's the brewing method or the type of beans being used, coffee -- like most things -- vary across the world.

There are four types of coffee beans: Arabica, Robusta, Liberica, and Excelsa. And according to CoffeeAffection.com, Arabica and Robusta are the most common and popular type of beans.

Arabica is known for having a smooth and complex flavor with a distinct lack of bitterness. Robusta, often associated with Vietnamese coffee, has a stronger and bolder flavor with a higher hint of bitterness laced within the coffee's profile.

The other and less common coffee beans, Liberica and Excelsa, have different flavor notes and are grown in Africa and Asia.

According to CoffeeAffection, Liberica beans "has a controversial and polarizing reputation for wild inconsistency. Those who’ve tried this rare variety either love it or hate it."

Some have described the flavor as nutty, woody and "burnt," with a backbite.

Excelsa beans have qualities that are a mixture of light and dark roast traits. These beans have tart and fruity flavors with a lighter aroma. Yet, these beans still have a depth of flavor.

There's also a science to the coffee brewing process that emphasizes and brings out certain flavors of the beans, which you can read more about here.
