Mornings, for many, are a tough time to feel motivated. The temptation to hit the snooze button and get more zzz's is strong, especially if you haven't logged enough shut-eye.

Sometimes a stiff cup of coffee does the trick. Other times, when you just can't shake the sleep off, a different wake-up call is called for. The right music can work just as well as buzzy beans, shaking you from the groggy fog and moving you into action.

"Good Morning" -- Kanye West

Good morning. Wake up. On this day you become legendary. Do anything you dream of. Look how far you've come. Hustlers, get on down.

Live wide awake, ready to take on the day. The morning is young. The rest is up to you.

"Till I Collapse" -- Eminem

"'Cause sometimes you just feel tired, feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up. But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength and just pull that s*it out of you and get that motivation to not give up and not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse." Enough said.

"The Greatest" -- Sia, Kendrick Lamar

Don't run out of breath. You've got stamina, even when you see another mountain to climb. Don't give up. You won't give up. No, no, no. You're free to be the greatest alive.

"Sunshine" -- Matisyahu

Push the clouds aside, let the golden sunshine in, reach for the sky and keep your eye on the prize. It's time for a champion, and that champion is you.
