I'm really curious what the other 3 people do. I wake up before my wife, so I usually grab my phone, or laptop usually, and start checking news, planning my day etc. before she is up.
Do people just sit there and stare at the ceiling or what?

I've noticed the tendency to check my phone/computer when I wake up, and I consciously try to avoid it. Checking within a minute really a sign of addiction, just like people who smoke a cigarette in bed after waking (and yes I knew somebody who did this.)
I definitely don't check my phone/computer within a minute of waking up. Probably 10 or 15 minutes on a good day, 3-5 minutes on a bad day.
Yea, that means I sometimes doze a bit sitting on the john. It does mean I'm at the point where I'm ready to do something productive in ten minutes after getting out of bed, though.
I should be working on a CSS grid layout I've been fighting with all week but instead I'm checking comments on HN. Fortunately I've gone from doing it four times a day to about two - in both cases, while im eating - but nobody needs to be "informed" every single day. You'll pick up the stuff that really matters even if you wade out of the stream for a while.
People even had radios and sometimes televisions in the bathroom to listen to this while they showered.
