hello, mylotters. Good day to everyone. This morning a question pop in my mind "what are the first thing that a person usually do when they wake up in the morning?" Do you usually grab a cup a coffee and a newspaper to read? take a look in your garden? Stretching your bones and muscles? Or just like among other people that have to rush in the bathroom to release the fluid? Happy to know your stories Happy morning to all

Hmm. well I am one of those people who rush to the bathroom to release those bodily fluids.. After that I usually make myself a cup of coffee, if it's still early, I would make breakfast, but if it's already late ( like most of the time. hehe ) I just go straight to my computer and do some online work, I also turn on the TV to CNN and watch some morning news.

Oh wait.. what I mean by online job, is just small online earnings, like mylot. .. It has been an ongoing joke between me and my friends that I have an online job. lol... Anyway, yep I drink my coffee in front of the PC.. it's wrong I know, but I never had an accident before ( and I am not asking for one.. )

well, yes. It is important to release the fluids right away because if not it will lead to Urinary Tract Infection or become stones. Do you usually eat drink your coffee in front of the computer? online job? that must be good. nowadays it's so hard to find genuine job online.

hahahahha like what Mr. Bean usually do. Well, i think we are all like that. We usually set our alarm clock but we never really plan to wake up on the said time. I think it is our common problem, ayt? laziness to wake up early. Thanks for the response, shally.

I'm sure stretch in bed will give you a good flow of blood circulation in the morning. By the way, I'm sure when you sleep at night you always put your phone beside you, that's why in the morning you always check it. Then when you saw that theres already a message for you, do you still reply on it even if it's late? ? ?

interesting discuss,. the first thing when i wake up is surely stretch in bed to grab cellphone, same to hiswillnotmywill , and turn off the cellphone alarm in a half awake state(lol, usually with one eye opened and the other closed),then go back to sleep, the first thing when i wake up again is to put on my classes and go to bathroom.

hmmmm... your one of the million students who always reset their alarm clock in "5 minutes"? and when they wake up, they realized they are already late and have to leave the house without taking a bath? Thanks for the share, jerry.

Hmm, i usually pray first. I thank God that he has blessed me with another beautiful day. Then i check my phone for any messages. I do some stretching for a while, then i finally go out of my room to eat my breakfast. You noticed i didn't mention me making my bed, because i usually don't. LOL. yeah, i'm a slob!

ha ha ha! i usually don't do that, i'm always dependent to our house maid. But, since I was told by my partner to do those things on my own, I was forced to do so. AS if I have a choice. Checking SMS from your partner, right? A "good morning sweetie" message. Yippee!

Well, definitely a question that EVERYONE can relate to. First thing in the morning I always take my medicine, then put on contacts lenses, then will make the bed, go to the washroom. After that I'll make breakfast for my partner and myself, which I'll eat in front of the computer. Next, it's planning my day what I'm going to do.

Whenever I wakeup in the morning, in case I do get to wakeup in the morning as I often wakeup during the noon time, the first thing that I do is nothing. I just stay on bed for a short while. I use to stretch every time I woke up when I was a kid, I guess doing that made me tall...? Anyway, I still do try to stretch but, I don't get to do it most of the time after waking up these days.

The first thing I do is go to the bathroom and relieve myself, then get on the weighing scale, and then drink a glass of water. But of course, that is after I fail to go back to sleep. So the first thing I really do when I wake up is to curl up again and try to get some more sleep. When I feel like I can't drift off anymore, then I just get up and do my routine.

The first thing I would do is brushing my teeth & then only I will even ingest my saliva. So after getting up, I go to the bathroom & wash my face & mouth, get the brush & brush my teeth. Once it done, I'll go for the rest of my activities in B'room then here I comes out fresh as ever

I usually have a reverse sleeping pattern during weekdays. Like, I go to work in the evening and go home in the morning to sleep. This has been my life for 6months, ever since I have worked as a call center agent. I start sleeping at 8am then wake up at 2pm. So when I wake up, the first thing I do is look at my cellphone to check if there are important messages then I go to the comfort room and while doing my routine, I pray. For me, I could concentrate doing my prayers in the comfort room. But during weekends or holidays, I have the chance to sleep in the normal pattern. I sleep at night and wake up in the morning. So whenever I have this blessing to have regular sleeping hours, when I wake, the first thing that I do is to pray and thank God for the wonderful graces & blessings and the beautiful sleep that I had. After praying, I go to the comfort room and do my routine, but still, I continue to pray.

I have to say that myself, as I am sure many others rush to the restroom first thing. However, after that I begin my daily routine after atleast 1 or 2 cups of java. I need a little pick me up especially if we have to get up earlier than normal as that hapens quite regularly. Tomorrow is probably going to be a 3 or 4 cups morning to get started as my boyfriend has to be to work at their other shop by 6 and it takes 30-40 minutes for him to get there. I know that I don't have to get up with him in the mornings but I always chose to get up, make his lunch and then spend a few minutes with him before he leaves as one never knows what can happen on any given day and I don't want to miss out on any time with him. Have a great day.

Well I usually get a cup of clear water to wash away the morning breath and then use the bathroom to clean up. Then it's just breakfast and brushing my teeth and then start whatever I have to do for the day.

bathroom is always the first stop. then i start straightening up the house upstairs and either throw a load of wash in or fold what is in the dryer and put the wet clothes in the dryer. i do at least 7 loads of wash per week so that is usually pretty much a mainstay in my schedule. then i make my way over to my desk and start doing a bit of the online work i have to get done including emails and then i weigh myself to see how i am doing on my diet. then i get dressed and get my son's clothes ready and then make coffee and then walk the dog and then feed the dog and on and on and on.

Hello! Usually, The first thing I do once I wake up is if it is early enough I will try to fall back to sleep . Sometimes, It will work ,but most times I will just daydream/think for a good 20 mins . Then I will stretch some and take another 20 mins to get out of bed. When I have somewhere to go I usally will set the clock and give myself atleast an extra hr. After that I use the bathroom like everyone else and say hello to my pets , and feed them. Then I make some coffee and listen to music and sometimes come on here. Then I do some of my work at home things or heaf out to my aunt bc i work there at times.

I guess I have one long stretch and tend to copy the small baby in the picture and have an eternal yawn!! I cannot start the day without a hot mug of tea though, I don't like coffee. I also like to listen to a bit of Classic FM, this tends to help me relax in the mornings and is a breath of fresh air! I do have to "release the fluid" at some point though although I don't rush to do this!

Hi simonelee! I usually dont get to see the early dawn as I work in the nights. But i'll tell u what i do when i wakeup. I play loud music, especially songs sung by Hinder and Matt Nathanson, the moment i wakeup. It makes my day. Then with the music on, i attend the nature calls and finish rest of the usual stuff. Yeah but sometimes i workout or go swimming, which is absolute fun. So what do you do in the mornig when u wakeup?
