How long does it take you to fully wake up after getting out of bed?

Poll question: How long does it take you to fully wake up after getting out of bed?

It takes me at least a half hour, sometimes more, before I leave the zombie stage and feel like functioning normally. While I'm going through the process, I slooowly drink an insulated mug of coffee for a full half hour and watch the news on TV. Gotta drink it in something that keeps it really hot, like my plastic foam insulated Aladdin mug.

1. I'm working on it!

2. I need as much time as it takes to

drink about 2 cups of coffee (or 4 cups of tea) and smoke 3 cigs. Oh, yes and I have to pee very first thing.

3. Not easily measured in time

More in amounts of coffee, and walking.

I have two alarms set half an hour apart, and tend finally to drag myself out of bed 15-30 minutes after the second. Then I have only enough consciousness to make the first coffee and shower. As the first coffee is taking effect, I get dressed and eat breakfast, then walking to work finally drags me into the land of the living.

By 11 a.m., I'm back to dozy stage, but by 10 p.m. I wide-awake and remain so for a couple of hours.

7. Soon as I get out of bed

If I stay in bed I may never get up
That is why the alarm clock is across the room, tuned the the most obnoxious radio station I can find. My wife is the secondary alarm, If I don't hear the alarm she kicks me.

8. I'll get back with you if I ever feel awake.

Maybe in about 30 years when I retire and can actually get some rest. Assuming I can retire and don't have to work at McDonalds to pay for my prescriptions.

9. I get up and start doing stuff right away.

Usually I wake up to my son hounding me. I change his diaper and feed him his breakfast right away and then I get my breakfast too.
