That increases slowly and ultimately wakes you up and gets you out of bed? It already exists, just so you know, in a natural form that your body makes - it's called "cortisol". The reason no one seems to have any is because it's made by your adrenals, and most people's adrenals are in the toilet, for a variety of reasons. How does coffee work? Basically, it kicks the adrenals that are already exhausted and makes them work harder. Which is why it's also considered a stimulant.

Between the insomnia that I experience as a formerly and having to get up at 6 most mornings to get my 8th grader off on her one-hour trek to school, I can barely open my eyes without the coffee. There are those coffee machines you can time to have the pot made before you wake up. I don't have one, but I should--at least until your brilliant IV drip gets patented.
