Right.  On a "morning after" (after I've been up for an hour or two), I'll 
sometimes do soft & easy slurs down, starting from 3rd space C-G-E-C 
(rest,flap) B-F#-D#-B (rest,flap), etc., down to low F#.  

This usually has the effect of bringing things back to a "center", so that 
later that day, things are more responsive, and the sound is "moving" again.

But I view this more as "repair work", rather than "warming up".  ;-)
