I have a mixed type as well, and layers, so some pieces are MUCH curlier than others.
I recommend damp bunning. It adds uniform waves throughout, so it straightens your natural waves a bit and curls the straight pieces a bit. I do it all the time, I hardly ever wear my hair in its natural texture, which is 2a overall, but with 2c pieces.
ETA: Ah! I should have read better, that you shower in the morning. Depending on how often you wash your hair, could you wash your hair at night, and then when you shower in the morning, use a shower cap?
Another thing to add is possibly Caruso Rollers, depending on how early you get up in the morning. It takes 10 to 15 minutes to put in place and maybe 45minutes to an hour to set. It uses a gentle steam and is actually not damaging at all and quite popular on this forum.
Ack! another thing, the rollers only work on dry hair, so that wouldn't help if you washed in the morning unless you blowdried and I'm guessing you stay away from that.
