1) Hydration
The first thing you do when you wake up is drink water. Ideally 1 liter of water upon waking up.
Most of you are chronically dehydrated. Start the day off right. Do it every day and you'll crave it in the morning.
1 liter before your morning coffee.

2) Exercise
Most people hate exercising. Don't torture yourself with something you hate first thing in the morning.
Walking in the morning sunlight while drinking your 1 liter water is a good way to get used to exercise.
20-30 minutes at a decent pace is a good start.

Can't even get motivated for that?
Use @ScottAdamsSays method. Just put on your exercise clothes. That's it. Odds are you will want to do something.
Or tell yourself it'll only be a 5 minute walk. Anyone can do 5 minutes.

3) Diet
If you are a breakfast eater, eat breakfast every day. Ideally high protein.
Pack a lunch or plan what you're having for lunch. Same for dinner.
The less guessing and last minute decisions the better. You'll make better food decisions.

4) Sleep
Go to bed at the same time every day +/- 1 hour.
Your body releases hormones around the same time every day. Fighting against this system is useless.
If you are a night person, don't fight it. Same for a morning person.

Do not sleep in on the weekend. This is hurting you in the long run. It distorts the natural pattern of sleep your body thrives on.
Sudden burst of energy in the morning? GOOD. That's cortisol telling you it's time to go.
