Treadmill desk has worked for me so far

If you have a standing desk already you just need a treadmill

I worried before I bought the treadmill that I would be too un-stable to use a computer but that isn't the case it works no problem I run the treadmill at slowest speed but I can work at higher speeds too

It's also nice to get out the house so if you can fit in a chore like take the rubbish out that'll help wake you up a bit in the mornings

Do you have a recommendation for a good treadmill to go under a standing desk? This is a very interesting idea.

Just about any treadmill with arms will do, which is most of them. I use a piece of wood that's meant to be a shelf. I put velcro on the bottom and on the arms of the treadmill then put a laptop stand on the shelf.

It takes a bit of getting used to for programming but it's done wonders for my sleep when I walk (slowly) a couple hours every day.
