Americans as phone checkers

Study Finds -A new survey finds that nearly one in four people grab their phones less than a minute after getting up each morning.

Researchers say that, not surprisingly, millennials led the way when it came to smartphone obsession. Thirty-one percent of the young adult segment said they check their devices almost immediately after waking, compared to just 9 percent of baby boomers. Men were also more likely to look at their phones before anything else, with 27 percent checking right away, compared to 20 percent of females.

While 23 percent of survey participants overall check their phones in less than than 60 seconds after waking up, another 34 percent wait five to 10 minutes. Conversely, about six percent wait at least two hours.
