Waking up with just a few minutes before sof zman krias shema

What should a male do in the event he wakes up, looks at the clock and sees it’s just 2 or 3 minutes before sof zman krias shema? When time is so tight, can one say the shema before birchas hatorah? What about hand washing?

Must wash hands and say bircas hatorah before saying KS
