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?

    You’re describing something I would hope wouldn’t be the norm. If that’s happening to you I’d urge you to see a brain doctor. Not a shrink, an MD doctor.

      If you are not familiar with the concept of sleep and/or waking up you may want to do the same.

    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.

    I have to sit there for a few minutes, actually been screamed at in my youth for it too. Weird times.

    On most days it isn’t really going until 9 a.m. no matter what time I haul my ass out of bed. On vacation that is when I wake up if allowed to sleep in.

    The one thing I look forward to from a possible retirement is sleeping on my natural sleep cycle.

    It really depends on the quality and amount of sleep I’ve gotten. Lately it’s been pretty bad, so it takes me a bit to ‘wake up’ so to speak.

    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.

    Depends. Startle response is pretty beast.

    In general pretty quick. Anywhere from instant to about 1 hour.
