I used to set my alarm for like 6:45 for an 8 am class... put a "wake up" pill on my night stand... like 175mg of straight caffeine. I would wake up zombie, pop the pill under my tongue and "go back to sleep" would take about 10 minutes and would pop the fuck up like an American flag... all panicky but ready to go... worked a whole semester 
Bitches, straight bitches...I would wake up at 5 am to run on the track...it would be dark and the only people up would be the ROTC...get to cafeteria by 7 am...eat and watch the women come in their high heels (they would get up at 5 am just to get ready for class).
Go to class, and here a dude singing to women coming in "You remind me of my Jeep (I wanna ride it), You remind of my sound (I wanna pump it), You remind me of car (I wanna wax it), You remind me of bank account ( I wanna spend it)"
And i had the ancient Parker secret of studying: Study fiercely for 1 hour: review for 1/2 hour: go do some thing for 2 hours then review for another 1 hour...for a double major that was supposed to grad in 5 yrs I had a 3.8 and grad in 4...and I was a C- student in HS
