Until I studied abroad, in France. I have not yet left my house in sweatpants since. I used to think that people who dressed up for class were trying wayyy too hard, and just plain tacky. But over there, you could barely even find sweatpants/pajama bottoms in the stores! Now, I like looking presentable, just because it makes me feel good. And because I stay awake in class better if I'm not in comfy fleecy bottoms... That aside, I never made it to 50% of my classes that started before 10AM, and even now I'm still late to 10:40 classes. And I set my alarm to ring three times before the "oh sh*t hour". Psh- I went to class in my pajamas ALL THE TIME. Until I studied abroad, in France. I have not yet left my house in sweatpants since.

Like listen to your favorite playlist when getting ready, or buy a cute thermos to take to class with your favorite drink in it. Coffee is overrated. It causes bad breath and jitters... That definitely does not help me out when I am tired. If you have to get up early give yourself something to look forward to.

Coffee causes me to crash soon after but the endorphins keep me going. Granted I have to keep buying more layers fit for running in as it gets colder but it's still well worth it. Then again, my class is 45 minutes a day, and one of the days that class is the opener to a day of hell- classes for more than 9 hours straight.

I am so experienced with that Oh Sh*t Hour that I have to set my alarm at least a half hour to 45 minutes before I usually get up. That way if I'm feeling particularly productive I have the chance to get up earlier than usual. It's also a good thing when I'm lying in bed and realize that I did indeed have homework for that 8 am class that requires me to shoot out of bed and use those snooze button minutes to quickly do whatever it was I forgot.
