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?

    A matter of seconds, but I attribute this to my time in the military. It is VERY hard for me to fall back to sleep once I’ve woken up because my brain is like “It’s GO TIME!” instantaneously. I could wake up, walk straight out to my car, and drive it safely if I had to.

      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

          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

            Our pointer ate so much problematic shit as a puppy (mice, etc) that we inadvertently trained him to go to the shower when he started hoarking in the middle of the night several times a week.

            Unfortunately as an adult dog he eats actual shit from the yard and needs to be directed outside/to the shower when he gets the windup going which is worse in several ways.

            But definitely train to throw up in the tub/shower if you can, especially at night in a northern climate it is great not having to chase them out of your room, down the stairs, out into the yard as they’re doing their best dinosaur call

              the worst mess I’ve ever had to clean up from a dog was when she puked up dog shit. and I’ve unfortunately cleaned up a lot of diarrhea and puke due to these sensitive assholes lol

              that was disgusting. I’m usually fairly good at detaching from the grossness of the situation, but something about scooping puked up dog shit into a dust pan nearly made me vomit

              the weird thing is our poop-eating dog isn’t the one that’s food motivated. she sometimes has to be coaxed to finish her meal before she lets the other dog in to check if there’s any leftovers. it’s not like she’s hungry. she just sometimes sees poop in the yard and thinks ‘yeah I should scarf that down before somebody notices’

              they both eat rabbit poop and grass, at least rabbit poop isn’t problematic I guess

            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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Within the first 30-45 mins of waking up. Getting up and starting my daily routine is a big part of feeling like I’m awake.

    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.

    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.
