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?

    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.
