Hi Strands fans. A pretty easy one today, provided you follow an average daily ritual (those on nightshifts may be mildly thrown, I suppose.)
"Rise and shine" immediately made me think of mornings, so I began hunting the most important meal of the day. Sure enough, BREAKFAST was spelt backwards up the right-hand side of the board.
WORK was immediately below it, and I then spotted SNOOZE in the top left-hand corner. That created a clear gap for the spangram along the top row, and following the letters down, I was able to spell out MORNINGROUTINE from top to bottom.
This cleared a gap that could only be filled by DRESS on the left-hand side, and I was onto the right, where only two words were left to find. WAKE was directly below SNOOZE, which just left SHOWER to uncoil in the bottom-right corner.
