My hubby arises, goes in the other room , gets dressed and does @10 minutes of stretching. He takes about 1-1 1/2 hours to feel like talking and "facing the day". I just let him be and try to NOT talk to him too much.
I know exactly how you feel. I never wake up feeling rested. I’m always achy and sore. It takes me about 30 min of moving around before the stiffness eases. I also have stretches that I do each morning. Then I get ready to go out walking delivering our local newspaper.
Yes, I do the same, I get up make my coffee go back and set up in bed drink my coffee and watch Tv
