Wake up and smell the coffee

Posted by Staff on June 16, 2022 - 6:23am

By Karen Kier
Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

The idiom “wake up and smell the coffee” is used to refer to realizing the truth about one’s situation or to become more aware of what is happening around you. I have heard this phrase more in the last two years than in my previous years. The plethora of misinformation during the pandemic has truly been a difficult situation for healthcare professionals and unfortunately, much of the misinformation is still circulating. The suggestion has been made to wake up and smell the coffee regarding the facts surrounding the pandemic. This idiom applies to so much more as well.  

A better title for this article would be wake up and drink your coffee!  Some recent studies have shed light on the benefits of java or a cup of joe.
