I'm the same way, Frivolous. Not a morning person at all, and I don't know that there's any way to turn a non morning person into one. Getting enough sleeps helps prevent me from being a total ogre in the a.m., and cardiovascular exercise will definitely wake you up and get your blood pumping, which'll help you be more alert. My problem is I can't drag myself out of bed and to the gym or onto a treadmill when I'm still in the growly wakeup phase, which generally lasts till 10:30 or 11 a.m. for me. A shower and coffee and morning silence help me acclimate. You can try melatonin to try and regulate your circadian rhythms (do a Google on "melatonin" and "circadian rhythms" if you need to). But I'm convinced some people simply don't take to the morning as easily as others. I've been this way since I was a baby, according to my parents.
