I would suggest a more natural approach, we are not robots
grogginess is the natural startup boot time, if the body needs more time let it, it has its good reasons
make some exercises and eat before work, pumping blood and getting enough energy is what healthy ppl do, at least from what I know :))
If you have that many stuff to do you can delegate, automate it and so on, we have to strive to do less work with more impact(efficiency).
This technique sounds like a hack, and I would bet that it has bad side effects on the long run (years), but I will keep it in mind for hackatons or nasty days.
I'm a small business programmer. I love solving tough problems with Python and PHP. If you like what you're seeing, you should probably follow me here on dev.to and then checkout my blog.

I was speaking about the part before sitting at the office, you are forcing your body in an unnatural way (after sleep).
All the offices I worked on had good lighting, so I never saw that problem, in a shared space or at home. At least at home I have few LEDs in each room with at least 900lumens each.

Office lighting is nowhere near the intensity of sunlight.
Office lighting - 320 - 500 lux
Full daylight but not direct sun - 10,000 - 25,000 lux
Direct sunlight - 32,000 - 100,000 lux

FYI: lumins and lux are different measures.
We don't tent to notice just how dark offices are compared to outside light levels because our eyes are good at compensating. But our brains seem to need bright light to keep our body clocks in check. That's why blind people tend to have this very problem at a much higher rate than sighted people.
But, just to be clear, I'm not trying to get anybody to change what they are doing. I just wanted to share what works for me.
Cheers.

There's nothing natural about sitting in front of a computer for the better part of each day in semi-darkness (aka standard office illumination).
Light therapy has a good record of safety. But this approach isn't for everyone. I just wanted to share what I do.
