I mean like: How long does it take before you brain goes: oh shit, I exist... I remember, I am a living thing, human, my name is [■■■ ■■■] and my current location is [■■■] and oh shit I'm late for [work/school/event] (or if its weekend, its like: oh... nothing's happening, life is boring)

Like you know what I'm saying, like the Terminator HUD thing after it reboots and it takes a few seconds before it can identify a target and then recognize its mission... that type of thing.

Or do you wake up and within 1 nanosecond realize the state of your existence?

Instantly? I don't even feel groggy when I wake up. Don't drink caffeine either, well not after waking up. Sometimes if I have to stay up longer than I should.

    When I wake up, I know who I am and where I and there's no disorientation; but I cannot get myself out of bed for half an hour. I feel like I've been given tranquilizer medication. Need to keep hitting snooze on the alarm. I resent this because I could have slept an extra half hour if I could only wake up and go.... But I must go through this snoozing drama every morning. No matter how much sleep I get, my brain cannot be functional enough to get out of bed for that first half hour. After that I'm good to go and firing on all thrusters.

  • Find an app for your phone/watch that wakes you up at the end of your sleep cycles. When you're in deep sleep you tend to be pretty still, but when you're at the end of a sleep cycle is when you typically move around a night. There's apps that will wake you up when it's almost your alarm time, but you're moving around.

    Also try to maintain a consistent sleep schedule. Eventually you can kinda figure out your own sleep cycles and try to work with them instead of against them.
