The relentless cheerfulness that makes morning people a public safety hazard.

means Cheerful, lively, and brightly talkative, often in a way that's a touch much for everyone else.

from From 'chirp,' the thin bright noise small birds make, which is itself echoic — the word simply imitates the sound. By the 19th century 'chirpy' had hopped from describing birds to describing people who are similarly perky and tweeting away, the '-y' ending doing its usual job of turning a thing into a quality.
