I do part of my work in the evenings.

Sometimes finding a morning hour that will not make you into a zombie helps. I discovered a few years ago that I'm as sleepy when I got up at 6 and at 10 (both too early) so if I got up at 6 I'm all ready to go when I'm at 8 in the office.

Adding some bed rituals that switch off further thinking - like reading a fiction (not a tech book & not self-improvement book) or drawing will help you fall asleep without overthinking. And using apps like sleep cycle helps wake up you at the right time :)

Ah, and exercising wakes you up so if you do it shortly before going to bed you may feel full of energy as well. But if you do it in the morning you'll be more refreshed. It doesn't have to be much. Just walk to the next bus/tram/train stop :)
