I do it in bed.
My brain likes to loop every scenario that can happen during the day (When I’m at work. When I’m off I’m just a house cat). So I always set my alarm at least an hour before I plan on getting up (I can start my day at work mostly on my own schedule).
So say my alarm goes off at 4am, (unless I’ve woken up 45 minutes before it) I hit snooze. And I just lay there in the dark, snuggle the dog, get comfortable, and let my brain work out all the anxiety and situations it needs to. Alarm goes off, my brain knows it’s 4:15am. I have 45 more minutes. Get comfy, stretch, let brain work through the noise.
Fast forward to 5am. I get out of bed, get dressed with my work clothes already for me at the end of my bed. I let the dog outside while I pour the coffee I prepared the morning before on a timer into my big travel mug, wait for dog to come back inside, kiss dog, kiss wife, grab keys and go.
I’m normally out of bed and out the door in roughly 15 minutes.

Shower chairs make this process wonderful. Also like 45 minutes if you fall asleep (when your spouse comes in to check on you)
