Reflexive verbs: levantarse, ducharse, irse
Many daily-routine verbs are reflexive: me levanto, te duchas, se acuesta. Some verbs are pronominal without literal reflexion: quejarse, atreverse.

Explication
Daily routine runs on reflexives: despertarse, levantarse, ducharse, vestirse, acostarse. The pronoun matches the subject and follows clitic placement rules: voy a ducharme / me voy a duchar.
Some verbs only exist with se (quejarse, arrepentirse, atreverse), and others change nuance with it — see reflexive meaning changes (ir/irse, dormir/dormirse).
