You need a good staircase between your bed and your desk. It allows you to have that commute experience. In my split level, if my wife comes home as I'm getting out of work, I even get the experience of "traffic" on my "commute" back up the stairs. Doing something between waking up and going right to work helps too -- I used to walk 3 miles to work, and would all but snarl at my wife who occasionally would suggest that she drive me in and rob me of that transitional time. Kettlebell swings and a shower can work wonders at going from bed mode to desk mode.
