It depends if I'm being cuddled by children or not. If not then I go for the phone within about 10 seconds 🤣

I sleep with my phone in my bed soo immediately unfortunately, but I usually don't answer any emails/messages in the first hour.

I'm not proud, but usually, when the alarm wakes me up, I grab my phone for a bit and check if I have any emails/messages. Because of the time difference, my team usually messages me around 4-5-6 am my time.

I start my day looking at my phone, but I only look at notifications from my WhatsApp and Messages apps (i.e. my personal communication channels). I have the red counter badges turned off for basically everything else, which removes the impulse to check those other apps first thing in the morning.

Given that I use my phone as an alarm clock, I use it almost immediately. This doesn't last for more than around 10 minutes and I get up and start the day after that.

I check the weather immediately and turn on Spotify, but I don't let myself check anything else until I get to work.

tbh immediately, I have thought about augmenting this but am unsure how to "game the system" so to speak

I listen to the radio news every morning, so pretty fast after waking up. But I consider it the same as when my parents were turning on the news on the radio at breakfast when I was a kid. They still do by the way, using a plain old FM transistor radio.

It depends on where I am sleeping and if the Sunlight from the window crosses my path early. Sunshine is powerful for me, and It draws me to explore. Never going to touch a phone when you feel like that waking up. Also positioned away from the sleeping space helps, but I haven't gotten over the need to be able to answer quickly if DHubby Calls and has a problem to solve. Waking up to sunshine instead of Twitter is much more productive. But Twitter is motivating too. Disclaimer: #LoveYourShiftWorker 2pm-1am

Too quickly, but I am now trying to start the day by brewing coffee and going for a walk without my phone (let's see if I can keep this habit)

I reach out to my phone in the morning as soon as my alarm rings and since then, it basically stays with me till I go to bed. I had tried to practice the "no phone for the 1st hour of your day" rule but to be very honest, it is extremely difficult!

I reached for my phone right away after waking up. I know it's not a good idea to do that, but I just can't resist checking what's happening while I was sleeping.

our phones sleep in the other room so I wait till i've had my morning water before I look (but it wasn't always this way, that's for sure!)

It is my alarm. I want to get a different alarm clock.

I used to check my phone first thing in the morning and I think it is pretty normal. When I realized I had a problem, I moved my charger to my living room and I also turn the phone off overnight. It eventually inspired me to develop Zario :)

Usually while I’m eating breakfast. About 20 minutes after I wake up. I do listen to my news podcast while I’m making breakfast.

I check the news/reddit on my phone first thing in lieu of reading the back of a shampoo bottle like the olden days if you catch my drift. 😂 As far as emails, just give a 15 second glance at subject lines to make sure nothing crazy happened overnight, but never actually open anything unimportant until it's time to work.

Usually, I try to avoid using my phone till breakfast. But sometimes I use it immediately after waking up😭

So quick I don't realize I took it. Shame on me.
