What's the very first thing you do after you wake up in the morning?

B Natural answer

Usually I open the curtains first, so the room feels less sleepy. Then I wash my face and make myself look a little more awake. After that, I head to the kitchen and make coffee or tea before I check my messages and plan the day.
