Regular exercise and disciplined sleep schedule. Lift some weights and wake up at about the same time every day, no matter what time you went to bed. In order to do that, I had a week or two adjustment period where I sometimes couldn't get to sleep and ended up only sleeping from like 4am - 7am. It fucking sucked but it was really worth it. It really doesn't take that much exercise. I do it for at least 4 hours a week for mental health purposes, but if you don't waste time during your workout, you could get away with 2 hours or less per week.

Hit yourself with bright blue light as soon as you wake up. Conversely, deprive yourself of any trace of it any time before bed. Blue light affects your circadian rhythm most.

Using the Sleep Cycle app. It wakes you up and the end of your sleep cycle so you don't feel like such a piece of shit in the morning.

Stretch when you get up. I find that just a couple of small stretches helps get the day started right.

I like get up up 30-60 minutes earlier than I have to and fool around on the Internet, so that I don't have to "wake up straight into a job". That's just misery.

Roll on outta bed, take a b complex vitamin, drink a glass of water, then drink some coffee. Works pretty well. If i can get around to the roll out of bed part.

I start with stretching exercises. I take chlorella, spirulina, multivitamines, extra magnesium, zink and vit c. That usually makes me feel good enough.

Stretching is a great morning exercise because it's light stuff. I am pretty dumbfounded (but not surprised) by how many people here are suggesting half or an hour of heavy exercise to wake up. Man, you're already feeling groggy (tired) and you just go exert yourself more to start the day? 3/10 would not recommend unless it really works to you

Stupid people seem to think that just because they got their adrenalin pumping then they're not tired anymore and that's just not how it works. The medicine for being tired is rest, not even more exercise. Of course, you may feel less tired but it's a chemical high/trick - just as if you'd take a lot of coffee or energy drinks - it's not really healthy to fool yourself.

I mean exercise is great and all, and some people do prefer it in the morning but you have to be careful not to transform this into a vicious cycle where you wake up tired, exercise even more to "get some energy" and then by the end of the day you're even more tired because you haven't allowed yourself to rest for the entire day.
