How do you feel when you first wake up?

I usually feel like death for the first hour or two, and rather than speak, I snarl. I try to avoid human interaction for a while, too, for the sake of people I have to interact with.

It's hard to try to act like a normal human being but if I didn't restrain my vile mood, everyone would hate me.

I feel the need to 'relieve myself'.

@PuppyLoverBob666 Sounds like you (and those around you) could benefit from listing 10-20 things you're grateful for before getting out of bed.

Grateful to be alive, whew ! I made it one more day. Then a serious craving for coffee kicks in. DH usually has it made.

Generally I am a happy morning person. When I first get up my first thoughts are the discomfort in my left hip where which I have had Bursitis for over a year now. I proceed with caution and get the oil flowing and I feel much better.......I would have to be dead not to make it downstairs to the coffee pot, LOL!

Stiff and in some pain from my arthritis....

I used to hit the ground running, before retirement because I needed to get going, post retirement because I was just so happy to have the entire day to do whatever my heart desired. After entering my 70s, everything creaks so much that I can't dance down the hallway any longer. However, I'm very thankful to get one more day. I start the day with prayer before getting out of bed so that gives me a chance to get my mind and body ready.

I'm a morning person so except for feeling a little groggy, it's the most energetic part of my day--LOL!!!

I actually spring out of bed. My husband is amazed and says I wake up like I've been up for hours. I have instant energy, am happy and love the morning. I really try to keep the energy level contained if he's awake too since he wakes up a lot more slowly. I'm pretty respectful of that.
