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?
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.
