If my alarm ever goes off, it's while I'm in the shower because I forgot to dismiss it.
My alarm is set for 6am but my dog wakes me up at 5 every day

Dang dog.
For the last few years I have started to set the alarm to go off at T minus 2 hrs. I will turn it off immediately.
The first hour is a leisurely waking up, checking news, posting a few things to Lemmy, and - these days - checking in on my Forge of Empires account, but it has been listening to a podcast at times or just reading. I will do all those before getting out of bed, unless I need to pee.
The second hour is then shower, breakfast, and getting dressed and out of the door.

The whole day
I usually wake up before the alarm. If I don't, I get up immediately, I don't like staying in the bed.
Alarm? You all use alarms?
45 minutes. I remember a Japanese study from years ago concluded, that 45 minutes was the optimal amount of time needed to waken
Then I'm doing excellent!
Sometimes around 10-20 minutes. Usually checking the time (both phones and watch), followed trying to find my water bottle (which I bring when I sleep on my bed). Around 2-3 minutes

Either immediately get up or spend some minutes harassing myself to get up. Non work days way longer to get up.
