When you see people waking up on TV and in movies, often it is all bright and cheery. However, that does not reflect real life for some people.

A new poll found that one in six people say they feel stressed the minute they wake up.

It was also discovered that the average person says they do not begin “feeling human” until they have been awake for at least 33 minutes.

Most people stated that they struggle with being sleepy when they first get up. They need to counteract that by doing things like taking a shower, eating breakfast, drinking coffee or even just brushing their teeth.

My Pawpaw used to say that each mourning you can choose to have a good day or a bad day. You make the choice and then act accordingly the rest of the day.

What do you do in the morning to try to get your day started off on the right foot?
