What's your way to wake up fast? if you feel tired, but not sleepy (somehow)What do you do to wake up?
I either make coffee or turn music up very loudly.

Getting up is how I get up.
Seriously, my standard is a deep breath to thank God for another glorious day and I shoot straight up standing and then get dressed. The whole ordeal is over in the blink of an eye.
-I'm a morning person.

This is what I do if I have to wake up fast.

I trigger an adrenaline response in my body, and shock myself awake.
(Yeah, I can trigger adrenaline almost at will.)

I sleep in, then realize I'm horribly late and just freak out. Seems to wake me up quite well.
Alternatively I usually just take a shower.

I can never get to sleep when I want to and can never get up when I need to. Luckily the range in which it takes to wake up only deviates by about 10 minutes normally, but some times it goes as much as 30-40, which undoubtedly makes me miss the bus.

And the only thing for a "fast wakeup" I have, is this VERY annoying ringtone on my phone that plays as the alarm function, and I have it set to three different times really close to each other.

Its a really loud, really irritating electronic generic ring:

"DWEEDWEEDWEEDWEEDWEEDWEE......DWEEDWEEDWEEDWEEDWEEDWEEDWEE"

Imagine something really scary. So scary that it scares you just thinking about it. Like monsters, a gun in your face, or walking in on your parents by accident (or all three if you're into that sort of thing).

Eat an apple, it seriously works better than caffeine for most people.

It's actually extremely difficult to explain, but in a nutshell, you put one hundred percent of all thoughts outside your head and then just trigger. But I suck at explaining weird things.

Oh yeah.. I wake up every weekday between 7:05-7:15 pretty much everytime, and on the weekends 10:00-10:35. Wide-awake.

I tend to be able to set a mental alarm clock just before i go to sleep. Conciously saying to myself get up at 8am. I tend to get up 15 mins early when i do this.
I also just have the ability to hit the ground running.
My first morning thing is to have a shower, so i guess this helps properly wake me up.

I don't tend to use my adrenaline control to get myself up as per Berethond does.
As to how one can "consiously" control adrenal release, it is a trained thing that comes with practice. If you are interested in learning the first lesson is to get yourself so worked over something the adrenaline kicks in, then it is a matter of stimulating that response with less and less effort each time. I have perfected mine to the level of a deep, aggressive breath.

walk with the mp3 playing on, just around the block that gets me going
Same, walking to school in the cold with KoRn blasting in my ears makes me fairly alert.

I drink coffee every morning, no exception.
Without it, I can't get through the day, not the morning at least.

eh, what are mornings... oh, those things. I slam back a redline, rock star, or amp, and cap it off with a caffeine pill... an hour later, im slightly more awake.

If im really tired and i have to do something important, say, meet a girl i like or go jobhunting or stuff like that i always drink about 3 cups of coffee with sugar followed by an extra long menthol cigarrette followed by a cold shower and some nice (very) loud music afterwards, that gives me awesome amounts of energy for ~6 hours, then after that im pretty much a zombie and im happy to not fall asleep while im walking, but as i said, thats my solution to short-term drowsy problems, if i need to be awake and alert for an entire day, i pretty much just get to bed very early the day before then eat alot of fruit and stuff.
