If you don't reach for your phone the moment you wake up, what do you do?

I have to have at least an hour between waking up and getting out of bed for the day.

I can't remember a time when I had to wake up and get up straight away or in a short space of time.

I'm never late because I set my alarm super early to build in lolling and phone time.

I'm on my phone the whole time. Checking social media, a bit of YouTube, a bit of Mumsnet.

Nothing enriching or valuable.

If you do some thing other than doom scroll when you wake up, what is it, and how can I develop it?

Help needed please!!

If I had a lie in I would read a book or do a crossword. I’ve been teaching myself cryptic crosswords so probably a quick cryptic, which I could finish in that hour. If I set my alarm deliberately early I would go back to sleep 😂

I don't take my phone to bed anyway, as we have a landline for emergencies.

I snooze my alarm once, get up, go to the loo, go downstairs and pop the kettle on, sort the dogs etc.

I normally look at my phone once I'm sitting down with my tea and that's just to check for messages.

Cuppa and finish what I was watching on tv the night before.
