You made me think of when Max was a pup, he would "attack" and nip my feet first thing in the morning because he was so excited that the day was starting. I ended this behavior by putting him back in his xpen until he settled down. After a couple of weeks, he learned not to nip my feet if he wanted to really get the day started rather than sit in his xpen.

My only caution with this suggestion is not to make an xpen or crate a punishment. Those are safe places. I always said casually "uh uh uh, no biting" when I put him back in the pen -- which was next to my bed and close to my bathroom so he could watch me brush my teeth while he settled down.
