Rise and Shine - Rise and Shine first thing in the morning.
For some reason I was never one to stay in bed in the morning even when I have nothing to do. I'm the rise and shine, start the day immediately type of person.

the answer there is to have enough sleep. once you get enough sleep, then you wont be sleepy once you woke up. ^__^

Well yes, I nedd some more time to wake up my senses!;) But I don't sleep again, even if I woke up early to avoid getting up late. The thing for me is, I usualy think of things to do that would easily make my blood boil and shake off the cobwebs!LoL

I usually hit snooze a few times. then if i can i'll lay there a few minutes half awake. Most mornings though the kids are standing there whinning "mom we want breakfast" or "I want a drink mommy" So then I have to get out of bed right away or they'll just drive me crazy till I finally get out of bed.

hi obezjanka! ^__^ yeah, sometimes i wake up because i want to pee. ^__^;; its bad to wake up in that kind of way because sometimes its still too early. and its very bad for me because i still have to go downstairs to reach our toilet. ^__^;; so i usually go to the toilet before i go to sleep so i wont be waken up by a call of nature. ^__^

I hate getting up in the mornings. I dont like it at all. Firstly I need to go to the bathroom then to the tram. Getting up is like a habbit of my life, nothing to do with it. Also I cant eat in the morning :~

I do both. Sometimes I'll lay in bed for a few minutes, usually no more than 5 minutes. Sometimes I'll get right up from bed, because I feel like getting ready for the day faster and sooner! :)

Usually I stay for a little while like ten minutes or so. I always set my alarm to wake me up at six thirty in the morning so that I have enough time to take a morning shower and check my emails as it is the best time to get online in the early morning for the fast Internet speed that I can enjoy.

I use to get up early in the morning and rush to wash room. I could not stay in my bed because I have to start to perform the responsibilities or the work in my job list. I try to cover most of the work at early in the morning and feel easy at the sunny or cloudy day. This creates ill feelings if I do not complete the work early in the morning. I noted that the morning hours are best fresh hours to perform the metal work. Such as writing some prose or compiling poetry works or attending the mylot.

Hi secretbear, I usualy wake and stay for some time on bed before comig out of bed. This will give me some time to come out sleep completely and also give some idea about situation and atmosphere of the place where Iam. Probably This is the time when I will quickly refresh my plans for the day.

brushing my teeth is the first thing i do also every morning! ^__^ but during weekends i eat first before i brush my teeth because i'm not in a rush. on workdays, i brush my teeth first because i would usually eat after i get to work. ^__^

Id love to say I stay in bed. But I cant. My four year old will yell mommy its' light outside. Time to get up. Don't really have much choice. Once I actually slept thru her yelling mommy. I woke up to her pulling my eyelid open!

in summer, i will get up immediately when i wake up each morning. i can't use air conditions and fans because of headache, so i can't stay in bed when i wake up. it is too hot, and i need to take a bath. in winter, i will stay in bed for a couple of minutes before i get up. because i have no air condition, and the room is cold. i want to stay in my bed for a whole day, because it is warm in my bed, but i can't. there are lots of things that i have to do everyday. so i can stay in bed only a couple of minutes, and i think it is a time to encourage me to get up .

hey wonderful. you got a good point there. i also wake up early during summer because i would prefer to take a bath early in the morning when it is not so hot yet. and during the cold season, i would stay on bed for a longer time (on weekends and holidays) even if i'm already awake. ^__^

I would set it to snooze for 10 minutes and continue to sleep. It is so hard to wake up immediately for me nowadays.

I usually stay for a while before get up. Sleeping is one of the most kind experience in life, so I don't give up any change to have more. LOL. Actually some research also shows that staying for a short while before get up when you are awake is a better habit that can keep us healty.

really?? i think i have read something like that too before. like, its better if we stay for a little while in bed after waking up and let our whole body wake up first and give it time, especially the eyes, to get used on being "on". ^__^
