On the days you don't commute, you could plug your foreman grill into a wall socket and sit in a chair staring at the wall for the same length of time to simulate the same effect.
It's common for people to bring up "well I like seeing all the people on the bus" or whatever activity they do during their commute as a reason why nobody should ever WFO. I think they're just making fun of such comments.
You should try putting it next to your bed and plugging it in when your first alarm goes off to wake up to the smell of bacon instead. Just be careful not to step on it when you get up.
