Sleep kind of erases my motivations from the night before. Without motivation, it's easy to become lazy, procrastinate, or distracted. A very useful way to help you at least get started on things when you do wake up, is to get everything set out the night before, so you don't have to prepare.
This might mean picking out the days outfit, placing it and a fresh towel in the bathroom, ready for your shower. It might mean tossing coffee and water into the maker, so you need only press a button the next day. (I think some of them can even be programmed to start 5 minutes earlier than your alarm is set). If your first working task is to check emails, leave your email program/browser open, and use the sleep or hibernate feature of your computer.
The point is, if the prep-work is already done, you will feel much less need to give in to distractions or procrastination, as you can just start.
