A new poll has revealed how Brits start their day - with most opting for breakfast, a cup of tea or coffee, and a hot shower.
The poll also found that one in six Brits feel stressed from the get-go, and don't feel human right away. In fact, on average it took 33 minutes to start “feeling human” in the morning.

Brits' priorities in the morning were fairly unified, with a majority saying that brushing their teeth was the most essential task after waking up. Other popular morning activities included making the bed, catching up on the news, and going to the toilet.
The research was commissioned by CLIF BAR, which worked with musician Dialect and the British Academy of Sound Therapy, to create the ultimate alarm tone sound to ease you into your morning.
James Hemmings, general manager for the plant-based food energy brand, said: “The average alarm in the UK is set for 7:10 am each morning (on a workday) – that’s an early start, so why make it harder than it needs to be?
“We know from our research that waking up the right way can have a huge impact on your day ahead, which is why we commissioned BAST and Dialect to help us create the best alarm sound yet.”
A quarter of adults admitted to taking a “duvet day” due to being so tired. It also emerged one in three claim they can train their body to require less
