Honorable mention: Drink water before anything else

This didn't make the cut as it is not something I do. Other people swear by it though, so I'll leave it down here.

Take a full glass of cold water and drink it completely before leaving the bed.

Personally I felt sick trying to drink that much water on an empty stomach, but it did wake me up. You do you I guess.

the water trick is great, i used to do that until the cats became a problem with it. i didn't need to drink a full cup though, usually a sip or two was enough.

a thing i recently added to my routine a little while ago that seems to help a bunch with waking up - vitamin d supplements. it could be bs, it could not, i just know that i jump out of bed so much easier (and i was already a morning person) since i started taking them with my lunch.
