If you don't want it publicly revealed, never tell anyone.

Wow thanks! I’ve always used cocaine to stay up later but I had no idea that it would help wake you up in the morning as well. That’s for the tip! Will try!

Sure you can. Meanwhile Excel...

I do a slow wake up. Sit in the couch with a Cup of tea and curse the world watching tv For half an hour

Better yet, don’t argue on the internet. You will never change anyone else’s mind about anything important.
There are copious studies on the neurochemistry of an argument that show an inability to edit certain sections of memory that came about as an evolutionary tool: killing a bear barehanded once obviously shouldn’t change the classification of a bear as fucking dangerous. The portions of our brain that we hold ideas about religion and politics (the most common sources of argument) happen to fall into these protected regions. This is made doubly worse by the loss of inflection and nuance from text compared to speech.
I try to limit myself to a single response for exactly this reason unless I find I’ve actually learned something and the conversation is non-combative, and the more the comment opposes mine the less likely I am to respond. In theory, I’m not perfect.

better sleep health might make you feel better when you wake, but other than that I would recommend finding a way to set aside some time in the morning where you can just vibe and set your own mood for the day. exercise is also a very good start to a day, usually leaving you energized.

You will hate that song within a year I promise.
Pick a song you don't particularly care about that starts slow and gets louder so it's not a super abrupt awakening. Leave the blinds open a littke so the sun can get in and wake you more naturally, and if you're getting up before sunrise I recommend a sunlight alarm clock.

Cup of coffee, looking out the kitchen window at the sun rising over the mountains, NPR letting me know there’s already stuff going on in the world. My answer is like so many others!

For comedic purposes, I was gonna ask you another question, but no, it's not clever.

I would say to do the same thing. You’re just feeding into them if you keep trying to change their mind. But that’s just my opinion.

This doesn’t exactly answer your question, but if you have a hard time waking up, set your phone to the brighest setting, and look at it for a minute or two when you first open your eyes
