I just go straight to the bathroom and brush my teeth immediately after waking up in the morning. I have been doing this since I was a child and now it is almost a habit.However,I have seen people like to drink a cup of tea or coffee just after waking up and then they wash their mouth.After brushing my teeth I drink coffee and eat sandwich,in short I have my breakfast..what about you?

Well, the first thing I do in the morning after waking up is just stay on the bed, have time to think. I think about many things like what happened yesterday or what I'm planning to do for today, things like that. After a few minutes, I get up and find something to eat, watch the tv and have coffee.

Well, I don't brush my teeth before having my breakfast, that's because I do it after I finish my breakfast.

The first time I do when I wake in the morning is wash my face and brushing teeth. then cook for my kids school supplies. and preparing all my child's school needs. morning is the busiest for me. sometimes I'm lazy to get up, because after wake up there is much work ahead.

I can understand that you have a hectic schedule as you are expected to do a lot yourself without the help of others may be..I want to suggest something why don't you cook something for your kids the night before and refrigerate them..in the morning you will only need to defrost those foods and then it will be fine..in this way you will be able to save a lot of time and even reduce your workload in the morning..what do you think?

Now friend don't tell me that your husband is not at all considerate.If you can make him understand your routine and problem then I am sure that he will cooperate with you..may be he won't do household chores but definitely he will allow you to foolow my suggestion.

Hello,
I just rush to the toilet and after finishing my toilet I brush my teeth. Then I take my medicines and make my tea. Morning tea I always take with a biscuit. Then I work in the kitchen, prepare my son for school, drop him to the bus stop and return home to cook my breakfast. This is my daily routine which has been going on unchanged for years.

Hello Naxous,
No, I do not mind u asking me anything. I take empty stomach medicine for thyoride and after tea I take medicine for BP and after breakfast I take medicines for arthritis and one for pains which I get due to thyoride. In our family we are three only me, my husband and our son. My husband goes early for his work. Even if he is home, he prefers not to do any house work. Sometimes I feel life is too tough, but then I console myself that there are others whose life is tougher than mine and I hv to continue for myself as well as my son.

So you are not in the best of health I believe.However thanks for your response and sharing your problems with us.I just want to suggest something which may be a bit out of the purview of our discussion..why don't you go for alternative medicine like homeopathy..it doesn't have any side effect and if you can be patient then you will get good results.

I run to my pc first to check the time and to see if anyone emailed me, lol. Then I do the normal brushing teeth, getting dressed, eating, rinse, etc.. I go on with my day after that. Nothing exciting.

yeah but that is in the living room where my phone is charging. my pc is in my room. I check to see if there is something I need to do right away. Some things I do are time sensitive so i need to get to them first. I do not think it is strange at all. We all have different methods of doing thing to suit our needs, jobs, social life etc..

All right friend I got your point and don't get excited or angry..It's true that there are different ways followed by different individuals and I respect that.But tell me friend how will you react or how your daily routine will change if you don't have a pc nearby or you can't gain access to your pc?

My routine has changed a bit now. I get up, put on my glasses and let my dogs out so they can do their business. Then I'd go to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. Showering isn't routine every day though. It's either in the morning or at night, depends on what's going on that day and if I'm in a hurry or not. I'm not a stickler for breakfast either, most of the time I don't eat anything besides a piece of toast or whatever I can get my hands on. Then I start my day.

My friend you need a heavy breakfast to keep your health in good stead..having apiece of toast is not enough..believe me that even I had similar habit of just eating a single toast or having tea/coffee with a biscuit and then I used to take nothing till lunch and after several years to be 2 years to be precise I developed collitis and ulcer and the physicians pointed at my habit as the cause of those diseases.I will ask you not to make the same mistake and have a proper breakfast.

Good day to you. With regard to your question, the first step I am doing immediately after waking up is "praying". I do pray before doing anything else. Saying thank you for the brand new day to the Lord and asking for His guidance and strength. And after that, I will start to do the chores or the everyday routine during weekdays.

As far as I am concerned, I think the first thing that I get up from bed to do is just turn on my computer ,which is the most thing that I like most. Then I may go to the bathroom to have my teeth nrushed. I think I usually do thing in this order,which will siut me a lot.

I drink a cup of water after waking up 'cause I become thirsty after several hours' sleep. Then I go to the bathroom, brush my teeth, and have breakfast. I've been doing this for several years. I heard some Health experts say that it's good to drink some water immediately after waking up. And it worked. I now feel my stomach funcioning better than it used to do.

Yeah even I heard people say that if you drink a glass of water after waking up then your stomach will be in a better condition..but they also suggest that you need to drink water that has been preserved for the whole night or stale water..Do you do that?or do you drink fresh water?

Well, I drink water that has been preserved for the whole night. I usually put a cup of water on my night table 'cause I think it's more convenient than filling my cup in the morning when my eyes are still blear. Plus, drinking water helps me wake up. I'm not a tea or coffee person.

The first thing I do is kick my wife out of bed to go and feed the dog and let it out for a wee and then she makes our breakfast and tea and brings it up to bed where we nibble away and listen to the wireless.
Sometimes she wakes first and then kicks me out of bed, though not always successfully as I am much bigger that she is. haha

So the very first think that you do after waking up is exercising by kicking your wife out of the bed..to me you appear to be either a lazy fellow or a male chauvinist who lacks proper manners my dear friend..What your wife does for you why can't you do for your wife at least once in a while?

For the past three years, my morning life has been monotonous but exciting.
First i open my computer. The bathroom can wait, the coffee maker can wait, the cellfone can wait.My computer comes first.
Then after opening my computer, everything else follows.(^_^)
I know some people might think i'm addicted to my computer.Well that is true haha but i consider it a blessing.Being alone in this big house is not fun at all. Instead of wallowing on my problems and frustrations, i just try to have an interesting morning life with the help of Nemo my laptop.
I just love what i have and i don't get so depressed with what i cannot have.This attitude almost always makes my day right.

The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is eat. Im always starving when I first wake up....Mornings are always very routine for me. The second thing I do is put in my contacts. Then I usually make my bed and get dressed. I never drink coffee, but I guess that's why I'm always so tired.

First thing i do in the morning is...STRETCH!
There's nothing more invigorating than a morning stretch.
Feels good to stretch.
It promotes bone growth too.
Then I wash my face,gargle mouthwash and just blankly stare.
Then I'm quiet. Trying to build composure after a long night sleep.
Typical morning freak. :)
Some say I got lost in my sleep. Funny though.
Lastly,I eat my yummy breakfast!
That's pretty much it.
HAPPY BLOGGING!
