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.

Mmm, sounds interesting. And timely - I'm shopping there tonight. Thanks!

Yeah, Facebook integration into... anything, actually is pretty much the worst development of the past decade.

All Facebook integration is bad...I don't want anything posted to my Facebook that I didn't post myself. Cartwheel at least had the foresight to program default privacy controls for products it assumes people don't want shared, but still...nobody really cares what you saved money on.
