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?
If it’s wakeup alarm, it takes about 5-10 minutes for my higher cognitive functions to get back online. If someone tells me something during this time, I most likely wil not remember it at all. And it doesn’t matter if I have slept 20 minutes or 10 hours, I’ll still be as groggy.
If there’s a loud sound in the middle of the night, it’s almost instantaneous.
About 24 hours.
I usually don’t even realise I’ve fallen asleep. It’s just, one minute I’m lying down with my eyes closed, the next the quiet chimes of my alarm reach me and I’ve fast travelled nine or ten hours into the future, y’know? I get out of bed and carry on with whatever I was doing.
There was some sleep study been shared around recently that says exactly this. It’s not a gradual progression into sleep, it’s a tipping point that happens all at once. Which I suppose makes sense… I wish waking up was more like that.
For me it’s more like 15-30 minutes. I still count it as awake because if I remember something in this time I can still wake up and do it and also I can remember some things from this period of sleep.
Lucky bastard
depends on the cause of the wakeup. alarm? 10 minutes.
kid or dog or cat vomiting? about 12 attoseconds.
yuuuuuup
if I choose to actually get up when I wake up naturally at the right point in the sleep cycle but it’s 17 minutes before I want to wake up, I’m sure awake in a second or two
if I choose to ignore that and go back to sleep for 23 minutes, then it takes a few minutes to fully wake up nowadays
if my dog is standing on my chest making a hoarking sound, I’m out of bed on my way out the bedroom door yelling at her to follow me before the other one even gets up
you clearly know my pain. then we get to play the game “no, just barf outside, it’s fine to barf out here, look, I can tell you’re gonna yark so just do it…” 40 minutes later as I’m trying to get the family out the door together, HURRK HURRRK HURRRRK HUUUUUURRRK
oh thankfully I don’t have to wait for it to happen later, it’s a struggle to make it outside — once they start, it’s happening. I’m just happy if they puke on the hardwood and not on a rug. been thinking about trying to teach them to puke in the shower
friggin’ bastards beg for dinner as early as possible but then puke in the morning if they haven’t eaten in the past 14 hours
I’m just happy if they puke on the hardwood and not on a rug. been thinking about trying to teach them to puke in the shower
I’m ashamed to admit I’ve dragged a dog bodily across the room to get them to puke on the tile or wood flooring. but I’d do it again.
one of my hounds likes to make pukey noises, then go outside AND EAT GRASS THAT MAKES HER VOMIT LIKE CLOCKWORK.
0.o
bro you are your own self fulfilling vomit prophecy. just don’t eat the *@!)$%^*ing grass
Depends on the task and time. Having to get up super early to get somewhere? No problem. Slept in? My brain might take a while to spin up.
16 hours give or take.
SLEEP INTERRUPTED UNEXPECTEDLY.
DUMP LOG?Man wasn’t there something … Ah yeah forgot:
FLUSH LOG.
About 4 hours. Assuming I have some kind of caffeine. Otherwise it may take longer.
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.
This isn’t something I think about/worked on, sorry. Not remotely consistent either with when I sleep, personal life and shift work.
Earplugs every time I sleep. Sleep mask when the sun will be out.
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.
What happens if you don’t have an alarm?
I wake up naturally, but still doped up. Almost always exactly half an hour, then it feels like the light comes on.
Don’t drink caffeine either, well not after waking up.
Are you saying you sleepwalk, and drink coffee while sleeping? Because, that’s kind of impressive.
I a word?
Immediately
Jealous
We all have strengths and weaknesses. I’d trade this ability for a more important one I severely lack in.
Pretty much instantly unless I wake up from a particularly vivid dream - then it might take a few seconds.
Mine seems to be tied to the time of day more than anything. Regards of how much sleep I get I can be groggy most of the day. For whatever reason my OS seems to power up a couple of hours after the sun goes down. All of the sudden things come into focus and I have the energy to get things done.
According to my parents I have always been this way, a natural born night person.
I have to sit there for a few minutes, actually been screamed at in my youth for it too. Weird times.
I’m able to get up quickly and stumble through my routine. I do the same thing every morning so I’m less likely to skip anything. I’m awake and fine after a few minutes and about 100% after a shower (twenty minutes or so). Sometimes in the shower I have to rethink my sleep because I’m likely to have super realistic dreams and I have to separate fiction and reality.
I usually get “stuck” in whatever horrid nightmare I was having before waking up. For the first 5-10 minutes I’m not sure if I’m still in a dream or not, then I spend a while panicking about how I couldn’t figure out reality and if anything is real.
Although things are usually a lot better when my son decides to sleep with us. He’ll wake me up before the sun just yelling the most nonsensical stuff and it snaps me back to reality pretty quick.
My favorite from this week was “wake up daddy put your jeans on! (Throws my jeans at my face) We’re late for work!” At 5:30am. I work from home an don’t have a set time to clock in but oh boy I clocked in early that day.

aaah that’s so cute. I remember when I was that kid, it’d be weekend and kid-me would just wake up early and jump on my parent’s bed and I’d wake them up. Lol
When I was even younger, sometimes I’d sleep with my parents, like right in the middle between them. I mean, at the time I shared a room with my older brother and I didn’t really like him. Even later on, when we moved and I got my own room, I still did that sometimes. I have weird attachment to my parents, even though sometimes they’d be emotionally abusive (on those days I’d go back to my room / the shared room lol). Sometimes I can’t sleep (or wake up early in the morning) and I just played with my dad’s or mom’s face and like… you know… kids things… annoying your parents… now thinking back, I can imagine them being very annoyed lol.
Sometimes I forget which room I was in and I get disoriented. Sometimes I though I was with my parents and then I was actually in my room (cuz after using the bathroom at night, I was on autopilot and went back to my room) and I almost fell off my bed lol.
Yeah, that first paragraph is me a lot of the time. I thought sleep was supposed to be peaceful.
30+ years and im still waiting for all systems to come online tbh. Any day now…
