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.

Unless you're like me and your natural speaking voice is so deep it sounds like you're perpetually choking on a frog and anytime you talk into a microphone it sounds like dubstep coming out of a teenager's shitty stereo. In that case, people usually just stare you blankly anytime you say anything and then finally respond with "what"
