Waiting for coffee is smart. I'll give that a try. Thanks for all these practical morning routine suggestions!

I try to wait at least an hour after waking before my first coffee. It allows my natural cortisol levels to rise first.

If I drink coffee too late, yes. But a morning cup seems to have no negative impact, as long as I stick to one.

Anyone noticed a difference with or without morning coffee on their sleep at night?

Indirectly, yes. If I'm properly hydrated during the day, I feel less fatigued, and that carries over to better energy for evening activities, leading to more readiness for sleep.

These are all fantastic ideas! The natural light exposure is something I've tried to be more consistent with. @PowerLifterPro, do you feel the hydration directly affects your perceived sleep quality?

Mindfulness or meditation in the morning, even 5 minutes, can reduce overall stress throughout the day, which indirectly improves sleep. Less stress before bed means easier sleep onset.
