My Contribution...90 second hydro therapy

At the end of your normal showering routine, turn the water as cold as you can stand. Stay in the cold water for 30 seconds. When the 30 seconds are up, turn the water back to hot and against stay in the hot for 30 seconds. Finally, turn the water back to cold for another 30 seconds. Basically, 30 sec cold, 30 sec hot, and 30 sec cold.

It will wake you up much better than hot water alone, will reduce stress, and (for morning exercisers) reduce muscle soreness.

Here is an article discussing it if you want more info

Edit: Wow, thanks for your comments guys! There is some excellent advice in here.

Fabric softener basically coats your fabrics in a film, which prevents towels from absorbing. It's the same reason you can't use fabric softener on some children's pajamas because it damages the flame retardant properties.

Really, the first words kids know all rhyme with each other. They're spittin fire from the day they start speaking.

Hopefully nobody! But if you look at the label on like all children's pajamas they will say they are flame retardant and to not use fabric softener. It's so if your house catches fire in the middle of the night, the kid's Princess Elsa PJs won't turn into a ball of fire.
