> とりあえず目覚ましにシャワーだけ浴びて、さっさとメシの準備をしよう。

  * speaker has already gotten outa bed

に（して）anyways, i'm gonna (fully) wake up, and just take a shower,...

(purpose) に anyways, I'm just taking a shower so i can (fully) wake up...

[the AをBに construction in
question](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/20854/meaning-and-
transitivity-
of-%E3%82%B4%E3%83%9F%E8%A2%8B%E3%82%92%E6%89%8B%E3%81%AB%E7%AB%8B%E3%81%A1%E4%B8%8A%E3%81%8C%E3%82%8B)

Is に（して）strictly only for that construction and nothing else?

Otherwise is there a implied とりあえず目覚ましに(行って)シャワーだけ浴びて to satisfy the movement
verb requirement for the "in order to do something に"?

question
particle-に
"に(して)" and the "for (purpose) に" clarification
The particle に indicates purpose. (It's not にして.) [目覚]{めざ}まし here is a noun
that means [眠気]{ねむけ}[覚]{ざ}まし, "shaking off one's sleepiness". I think とりあえず is
more like "First (of all)," and modifies シャワーだけ浴びて, not 目覚ましに.

> とりあえず（目覚ましに）シャワーだけ浴びて、

_Lit._ "First of all, for (the purpose of) shaking off my sleepiness, I'll
just take a shower and..."  
→ "First of all I'll just take a shower to shake off my sleepiness and..."
