When you wake up in the morning, bleary-eyed and still in bed, do you reach for your phone to check Facebook or read an email? If you answered yes, you are not alone. According to a survey conducted by telecommunications hardware manufacturer Ericsson, 35% of respondents grab their iPhone or Android phone and launch a mobile app before getting out of bed.
Checking Facebook and other social networks is the most popular activity with 18% of people reading their news feed while still in the sack. This trend of early morning Facebook-ing may increase in the future as 20% of survey respondents expect to buy a new mobile phone in the near future.
