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?
It varies like crazy for me.
I’m an insomniac, and some nights after being up for a while, I’ll fall asleep again within an hour of the alarm. Those days, I struggle to focus enough to sit up, and force myself to move in a minute or two.
Other times my eyes will flick open and I’ll be in full awake mode almost instantly. Some of that was trained behavious from when I was on-call.
