Topic: It is a practice in many orthodox families to get up saying a prayer.
Myth: Done as a tribute to Divine for blessed pleasant sleep and keep the same ahead in the day and hence further.
Reason: Anyone who get up early in the morning chant the sloka
karAgrE vasthE lakShmee, karamaDhyE saraswathi
karamoolE sThithO gauree praBhAtE kara darShanam
On observing each word in the sloka, "ka" is prominent. Just by this can you infer something? If not try to say the sloka once and then think the scientific reason, before you go further down and complete this post.
I hope you had tried chanting the sloka. The word "ka" is very important in this context. To pronounce "ka" uvula(ಕಿರುನಾಲ್ಗೆ/अलिज़िह्न) is used. The word "rA" is pronounced using the tip of the tongue touching the upper lingua. Once again in "grE" uvula is used. In total to pronounce "KarAgrE" around 3 suborgans of our mouth is used. On similar lines if you observe in chanting the whole sloka all parts of the mouth involved in vocal(production of sound) are used. This is like a warm up to your vocal parts as they had went to rest during sleep.
