I mostly get up in the night since I work during that night. Anyway, the first thing I usually do is to cuddle my dogs. The moment I open my door, they are already there waiting for me. The first thing I need do is to pee or to get some water or food in the fridge but since I can't pass my dogs right away, I need to cuddle them first to get through.

You have a lot of cats. How I wish I can have a lot of dogs. Since I'm living in an apartment, it is not practical to have many pets. Probably if I already own a house then I will get a lot of pet dogs.

Me, I wake up really late in the morning since I go to work in the afternoon, so I get home pretty late. Well, actually, I wake up pretty early, at around 8:30 am, just to watch Charmed though. After the show, I go back to sleep. So I guess the first thing that I actually do is watch TV. After I wake up again, I usually check my messages on my phone and if there is a wifi connection available, I also check my facebook page. And then, I read a couple of pages of the book I'm currently reading. After that, I finally get up to brush my teeth. But like you though, I can't go to the bathroom without cuddling my dogs! :)

That is great that you also have a dog. I really can't go to the bathroom because my dogs are already waiting for me to cuddle them. As if they are used to it every day that I wake up. I love cuddling my dog, they are adorable and sweet.

I guess everyone has the same answer to this question: open their eyes. Hehe, just a joke! Personally speaking, the first thing I do when I get up in the morning is to stretch myself and have a deep breath. While doing this, I also remind myself in mind what I plan to do today. Such conducts are very important to me for it could help me keep a good condition in the morning.

I always forgot to do some stretching every morning. Though it is really healthy if I can do some small exercise after I wake up. I always think about my day's plan when I'm already on my way to work.

Cats are also adorable and sweet. unfortunately I can't own a cat since my dog is always chasing cats. I don't know but my dog is always jealous when we have a new pet. She always feel like she's our baby.

Haha yes overprotective body guards waiting in front of the door of my room. But there are times that I keep the door open and they will sleep inside the room. Sometimes I do that as well. I lay in my bed then try to think what I will do that day specially if it is weekends.

The first thing that I do when i wake up in the morning is hit the snooze button for 15 more minutes.After I wake up again i have a hearty breakfast and head out for a morning job to help stay in shape.I really like waking up early in the morning and think that if you are not having to work early in morning then it is great to get a head start on the day!

There are times that I do that too haha. When my alarm clock is ringing, I usually set a snooze for about 10 - 20 minutes more. Then after the second ring, that is the time that I will finally wake up. It is so difficult to wake up right away on the first ring of the alarm clock.

When I get up in the morning I usually brush my teeth and wash my face. Then I fix my two sons some breakfast. Once they are done I help them get ready for school. And then I drop them off at school. Oh yeah and I have to use the restroom too.

You are such a good mom. My mother always prepare my breakfast and I really really appreciate it. We usually have some small talks during breakfast. It is our sort of bonding.

The first thing I would do everyday morning when I get up will be go to bathroom, because I definitely need to let the natural call go first. Then I would wash my face, and brush my teeth. Those are more important to me than anything else. Sorry, I don't have any dog to cuddle.

After I cuddle my dog, I usually go the bathroom. Sometimes my dog still follows me inside the bathroom but has the tendency to get out right away. Then I drink a lot of water after wards then proceed to my usual routine.

Hi,
If the order you mean, once I get up at 7 in the morning, the second step from the bed is to the bathroom and I will do brush up my teeth, then shaving and taking bath and if feel, toiletries and then only people will see me at home. Though this is the routine except Saturday & Sundays, and may be few exceptions depend on the mood. Then take a glass of water followed by a tea. I had a habit of morning exercises and on those days also brush up the teeth is the first immediately after getting up from sleep.
Regards,
Thank-s

Some take coffee and some drink coffee for their breakfast. I usually drink milk or milk chocolate. Way back in college, I drink a lot of coffee before going to school. I love drinking tea too, though the cold ones.

Hey there night girl!
The first thing I do is turn on the TV to catch the morning news. Next would be peeing then drink water. If I'm hungry enough, I'll prepare breakfast. Otherwise, I turn on my laptop and start browsing . My work shift is mostly in the afternoon so I have the time to browse in the morning.

I work during the night but I really prefer a mid afternoon shift or morning shift. It is too difficult to adjust if you are working on a night shift. For me it is best to work during day time. It is best for our health as well.

Yes that is indeed sweet. Just by saying good morning to your kids and huband is sweet. Adding a morning kiss is also sweeter. My dog usually give me a morning kiss from the moment I wake up.

I usually check my phone to see the time and also if there text messages there. I usually turned it on silent mode during my sleep time. There are instances that I will forgot the message and delete it if I'm too sleepy when I checked the message.

When my alarm clock ring, I still reset it for another 10 minutes. I'm too lazy to wake up unless I overslept. But most cases, I lack sleep because of the nature of my work.

The very first thing that I do is stretch. Then I just stare at the ceiling. I also cuddle with my soft pillows and fuzzy blanket. Then like clockwork,I feel the sudden urge to pee. I hold it in for a few seconds because I just feel oh so comfortable with just lying down then of course I begrudgingly get up and go to the bathroom to do my morning routine :)

Instead of pillows and blanket, I cuddle my dog. The fur is so soft, softer than that of a stuffed toy. I feel so refreshed every time I hug and cuddle my dog. I feel so energized and recharge to face the day.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to do some exercise when I wake up. I usually wake up late at night and it is awkward to do some stretching. After my work, it is already morning. And I'm too sleepy to do anything but to sleep.

When I get up I have a look at my pets. If the rabbits and the guineapig have drunk all the water in the bottles I fill the bottles so that they always have access to water. Then I go to the bathroom and I get dressed. Afterwards I am ready to leave for work. I work at night and I prefer to sleep as long as I can so I don't have time to drink coffee or check the news on the computer. I usually have a bottle of water and some biscuits in the car and I eat a little on the way to work. When I return early in the morning I have coffee and turn on the computer.

I also work at night and for me, it is really difficult. I also want to have a rabbit as a pet. Guinea pigs are adorable as well. I want to buy a pair so I can breed them.

My bed is a bit far from the window. So I need to go outside our veranda to get some sun. I love the morning sun specially during 6 - 7 in the morning. It feels good to have sunshine vitamins.

When I was a student like you 4 years ago, I usually drink a large mug full of coffee before going to the university. My mom's coffee blend is so great. It is the best coffee for me. I guess better than the expensive Starbucks coffee.

We do have different habits every morning. I always go to the bathroom after I wake up from bed. It seems so natural to me that even though I feel sleepy, I need to go the bathroom.

Facebook is also the first thing I check when I open my laptop. Mylot is the next but I will just stay on Facebook page for a couple of minutes just to check some messages. When I'm already awake, I don't go to bed anymore. I'll just take my sleep after 12 hours I guess.
