Some people wake up ready. They have already thought of three things they want to do today. They are fine. The person who hates mornings wakes up in a completely different condition — the first twenty minutes are a negotiation with consciousness, a series of increasingly urgent alarms, and a general orientation process that should not be rushed and definitely is being rushed. They are not a bad person, they are just not optimized for this particular part of the day, and they have made a kind of peace with that even if the world has not entirely made peace with them. The gifts that make their mornings survivable are the ones that do some of the work for them: coffee that requires minimum effort, alarms that are less brutal, light that isn't an assault.
