I hate having to wake up early in the morning. Any tips on making it a generally more pleasant experience?

It seems no matter how much sleep I get, if I have to get out of bed when my body is not ready I feel sick and weak. Even after a nice hot shower, headaches, nausea and fatigue ruin pretty much the first 2 hours of my day (after that, I’m fine).

I have to wake up at around 7am every day now. I know how to abide by my alarm clock and get out of bed when I need to. It’s just the feeling of ultimate crappiness that I can’t seem to get over as I get ready in the morning. Does anyone have an clever tips and tricks that can make my waking up routine a little more comfortable?

This question in short: How did you turn from a non-morning person in to a morning person?
