Moscow We feel you Moscow. 7 out of 10 respondents reported that they do not see themselves as “morning people”. They probably compensate for that morning grogginess with some caffeine, in fact, 80% of citizens drink tea or coffee upon rising. Their morning routine is complete after a bit of makeup (71% of women reported that makeup is a must) and breakfast with their loved ones (during which 72% of respondents talk about their goals for the day). 46 The typical morning routine is quite minimalistic in Moscow. Despite the city being embedded in religion, only 1 in 10 respondents noted that they pray in the morning. Moscow citizens do a lot of preparing the night before: 21% pack lunch and 39% set out tomorrow’s outfit.
