How can I feel more alert without coffee?

I don't feel withdrawal symptoms and can easily go a day or several without coffee but the benefits are undeniable. I'll try and get good sleep, stay hydrated and eat right but even then I just don't feel like I'm on my A game which sometimes is very vital (interview, exam, etc.) I've tried alternatives such as boiling my own tea but that doesn't cut it either. It's just sort of an experiment of mine to try and find an alternative, but as long as my caffeine consumption is at a safe level should I just continue to make coffee a morning habit?

    coffee is supposed to lower the risk of diabetes! don't know that it has helped ME, but for you it might be a help. I drink coffee 24/7 Hot, Iced, laced, and decorated. Usually it is hot black!

    ICE COLD WATER! A nice glass of ice cold water in the morning wakes me up each morning! If all else fails at the end of each morning shower turn the water to cold for at least 10 seconds. That should wake you up!

    Sleep more, stretch in the morning, drink some black tea or chai tea (with cinnamon), or you can just keep drinking coffee! Its not unhealthy if you drink it plain or with milk.

    I think part of it is your imagination because regular tea also has caffeine and that what makes you feel more alert.You seem to think it HAS to be coffee.

    And why not continue with your cup of coffee in the morning? there are clear benefits to coffee, decaf or regular.
