I've found that I have to do something right when I wake up, or I'll start sleeping through my alarm. I'm getting up at 6am right now, but I'm also seriously considering 5am, because that extra hour will come in very handy.
Some of the things that I do is to head out for a jog or start doing push-ups and sit-ups, military style, for about an hour. (I miss running with large groups, chanting out cadences...) On the weekends, I take a shower immediately, which, for my pipes, wakes me up pretty quickly with a blast of cold before the heat kicks in.
