In a perfect world, we would hear our alarms and just start our day but unfortunately that is not the case.
A study of 2,000 adults found that while 7:14am is the average time to get out of bed, it’s not until 8:44am that they’re ready to seize the day.
The study, commissioned by Lyons Coffee, also found a third feel they are on ‘autopilot’ most mornings and 22 per cent often need help to ‘kick start’ the day.
The study also share the top 15 ways adults try to wake themselves up:
1. Drink tea/coffee
2. Brush their teeth
3. Take a shower
4. Wash their face with cold water
5. Turn the lights on in a room
6. Drink a glass of water
7. Watch TV
8. Scroll through social media
9. Go for a morning walk
10. Listen to loud music
11. Do yoga / stretches
12. Go for a run
13. Go to the gym
14. Read a book
15. Eat sugary food
