How quickly do you reach for your phone in the morning?

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.

My phone is my alarm as well, and that means I reach out to it as soon I get up.

usually, as soon as I wake up. I know this is not the best thing to do.

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.

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.

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

About an hour after I wake up, sometimes later.

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

Instantly. I give it a good smack to snooze the alarm.

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.

Within the first 10 minutes, but I'm trying to stop, it's such a bad habit!

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.

Other than an alarm I aim to not use it for at least the 30mins of the morning

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)

ASAP. Especially when I slept through all the alarms😆

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

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 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

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