The detailed overview reveals morning rituals—waking up, having breakfast, catching up, socializing and getting ready,—adopted by people across the globe. It does not reveal any conclusions and lets reader figure the trends out on their own. This is the first ever global report of this kind—previously, IKEA revealed a study of consumer home habits across the U.S.

The thorough report analyzes not only how popular this or that activity is among more than 1000 respondents in each of the regions, but also provides a better insight into the data on the Data Mixing Board using special filters such as age, gender, occupation, household income, number of rooms, and more. Plus, the board also reveals the level of life and morning satisfaction and confidence of leaving home.
