You are full of good suggestions!

I had not considered beta blockers at all. Perhaps I should; it appears that they also treat some of my other (minor) health issues.

I have not tried a caffeine nap. Doing some quick reading suggests that it may counteract the grogginess I experience.

In the mornings I sometimes take a few caffeine pills after the alarm and continue sleeping until I wake up spontaneously when the effect peaks. Another way that works for me to increase morning alertness is to time some bright lamps to turn on an hour or so before wake up time.
