What comes first in your morning, shower or coffee?

I'm not assuming that everyone showers in the morning. I know some shower in the evening or in the afternoon. I'm not assuming that everyone drinks coffee either. But if you do both of these things, which do you do first? I drink my coffee first and then I take my shower. Our morning routine is changing and we've got 4 people wanting to take a shower at the same time. I may have to switch my routine a little. Waking up earlier than is absolutely necessary is NOT an option. lol If you do neither but you have some other morning routine that you would like to share, please do.

When I wake up, I would brush my teeth and jump into the shower first. Then I start to regain my conciousness and can think for a little bit. And then I would change and put my makeup on. Then it would be breakfast and coffee time. I think I would be able to enjoy my coffee after I am cleaned and brushed up!

I take Green Tea and that's the first thing I need in the mornings. A nice cup of Green Tea and switch on my computer, to see what's been happening with my friends. The rest, has to wait. lol. Brightest Blessings.

I actually start my day with a cup of coffee and take my showers either during the day or at night. Its easier to do that when I have the two kids up in the morning. Plus then I don't have to fight anyone for the shower.

Coffee comes before breathing,lol, so anything else is secondary.

I have to have my coffee first thing in the morning. Then I will take a shower. And sometimes I take my shower the night before. So then I dont have to shower in the morning.

I go directly from the bed to the bathroom in my room. Potty, then shower. Then, get dressed and then get a big drink...I don't do coffee, so right now, I'm drinking flavored, no-cal carbonated water first thing in the morning in a 44oz. cup. When that is all gone, later in the day, I get to have my diet coke! There are just the two of us...me and my husband, and he gets up 4 hours earlier and goes to work, so no fighting the hot water.

Nope I never ever was a shower person to begin with, but do like my baths at night. My morning routine starts out by first feeding my kitties and giving them fresh water..heaven forbid I dare start my breakfast first..but I do have that morning coffee!

I've got to have my coffee before I do anything that involves any effort. So first to the toilet, then coffee pot, 2 cups of coffee on the couch while checking e-mails, then shower.

I like my shower first thing in the morning to get me going...and if it is a work day, I drink 3-4 cups a coffee in the morning to get me going the rest of the day!

Actually, if any body was to record the morning session at our home on the video, it would be hilarious. My husband is the first to get up at about six. Nowadays, since he's at home studying and is on leave at his work, he fixes our son's tiffin, fills the drinking water(yes, in India, we have to fill our drinking water)and boils the milk etc. Waking up our son is a marathon effort. That is left to me. Its a mad mad rush, feeding him his breakfast and getting him ready for his school. He leaves home by about seven thirty and after that, I want at least half an hour, come what may to have my morning cuppa and read the newspaper. Thats my time, my space. Sometimes I'm on the computer while sipping my tea. Shower's later as since I do the cooking, I prefer to bathe only after I've finished my cooking. Thats almost afternoon. And yes, I don't like coffee as much as tea. I might have coffee later in the day but my first cup in the morning has to be tea!

i should say neither, neither is my morning routine. i am quite fond of showering before bed for a nice sleep.i don't have the habit of drinking coffee,instead, i do like drinking a large cup of warm water as soon as i get up in the morning. i guess water is the most wonderful thing in the world.^0^

It depends on how lucid I am when I wake up. I typically go to get/prepare my morning drink (usually tea, an energy drink on occasion). After that I then head up to take my shower and use the time to clean up; by the time I'm ready the tea is usually ready. In other cases I just stumble into the shower and allow the sense of water to bring me back to reality. On off days or light days, instead of doing either of those I'll do my exercise. The exercise varies from walking, jogging, all the way to more active sessions like swordplay, biking, weighted movement activities. After getting some exercise in, then I can just plop in the shower and get nice and clean (smart smart!). After that its off to face the day.
