How do you wake up and get your eyes feeling chipper?

Each morning my eyes feel tired for hours after waking up and I feel sleepy. I drink one mug of cappuccino but it doesn’t help. Coffee makes me nervous. It’s so hard to feel alert and ready to enjoy your day when your eyes are half shut and you feel groggy. Please tell me how you wake up and get your eyes feeling wide open. I refuse to resort to ice water on my face.
I get eight hours of sleep on one mg of melatonin.
