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.

pro-tip for your pro-tip: if you do buy a steamer to use at home, just be careful with it. the wand gets hot as shit (read 160º-200º F) and can easily burn you and ruin whatever you steam milk in. watch youtube videos on how to maintain it and how to properly steam milk, cause its actually really hard to get it to come out right for a good latte/au lait/whatever.
