I love coffee - but the 5-5-5-30 routine got me out of bed faster and in a better mood after just 1 week

I know I'm not the only one who normally has a manic start to the day. With kids going off to school, bags need to be packed and toothbrushing needs to be supervised, so, understandably, I have never had time to even stretch my legs before mid-morning at the earliest - until I tried the 5-5-5-30 routine.

I'm also not known for my energy in the morning, and I can often feel quite sluggish until I’ve had a shower, a big glass of cold water, and a coffee. I’ve always been jealous of the people who can wake at 5.30 am for an early morning walk or gym dumbbell workout before anyone else is up.
