You have to keep in mind that you're riding you bike a few miles to work. It's not like you were hired to explore the Louisiana Purchase, so chill out. Take a few moments to pack whatever you'll need at work, and make sure the bike is checked the night before so you don't get an early AM surprise.
After that, just relax and allow enough time for the ride. At first you may want to set the alarm 15 minutes earlier, just to make sure you allowed enough time, but soon enough it'll be routine and you can do it sleeping.
