i've got the habit of setting the alarm, beating the alarm by waking up before the alarm starts to set it off so it won't alarm then go back to sleep hahaha... or if i did not wake up before the alarm and it alarms, i would hit snooze ( probably 2-3 times) before really waking up. that's when my husband gets handy, not giving up shaking me to make me get off the bed.

Actually I was waking up and turning on the computer first thing but then something else stands in the way and I end up doing something else first. Namely turning on the coffee maker.
My husband usually turns on the compute first thing when he arises after he does a couple of other things I imagine.

if my hubby doesn't need to go to work (esp on weekends) that's what he does first thing in the morning, he turns on the computer, check his emails then play counterstrike.
Seriously, I head for the kitchen and a cup of tea before even thinking about the day.

Exactly just like what you're doing. I reached out for my cellphone and check for any new messages or missed calls and see if there's something important. I hate it when I receive messages like bad news or like a very hard task to do but mostly, most messages I'm getting are morning greetings and stuff so it's all good.

my friends wake up early and i love reading morning greetings they send me that is why also that is the first thing i do, check for messages. and they don't expect me to reply right away because they know i wake up late ;) i normally reply a little before lunch time.

Get my husband out of bed and then go back to sleep while he gets ready for work.

That seems to be the responsibility for a lot of women out there. Being married is something that goes with all of that. I also make sure my husband is up sometimes and I like to make sure that he has coffee first thing. I don't usually go back to sleep for a while.

My first thing to do in the morning, is to go to the washroom...
Then, clean up the mess left by my family in the living room, and get ready for work.
My cell phone is a secondary thing for me, I have it only for emergency purposes, and I hate when someone calls me just to say Hi.
It costs too much for a egular conversation, that I can have, no extra charge from my home phone.
Also, I do not sleep with my cell phone beside my bed, because I'm a very light sleeper, and every small noise wakes me up.
But, probably, my eaction is because I'm older, with work, kids and house to take care of, and I try to keep my sanity...

That can be a pain in the neck to have to clean up after people first thing in the morning. You are really not alone in all of that. It just comes with the territory I guess. I don't really have an operating cell phone right now but I can see where people want them close by for certain reasons.

i sleep very deep and not even the ringing of the phone could wake me up. the reason also is that i sleep very late that is why i fall in a deep sleep.

well, okay aside from opening my eyes, I say a quick thank you to God for the new life. Then I pick up my "arinola" and head for the bathroom to clean it, and then eliminate. Prepare bfast, eat, routine routine routine, then head for work. LOL

Hi, usually turn off the alarm clock and get up and stretch.Then I wake my b/f and get the things he need for work and prepare his breakfast. Funny thing I didnt do that for my ex-husband but I do it for my b/f because he doesn't expect me to do it for him and he always thanks me.

First thing when I get up is stumble to the front door and let the dog out. While he's out put the coffee on then I put out new food and water for him and the cat. I think the dog has me trained. Same exact routine every morning.

The first thing I do when I wake up from my alarm clock is press snooze and sleep for another 10 minutes. I do that until it is time to get up and get my kids ready for school and try and not be late. I'm not a morning person so I hate getting up in the mornings.
