Anybody take a long time to feel normal after getting up?

I feel like I’ve been out all night partying, and woke up with a huge hangover. (I don’t drink!). This feeling lasts for hours.

I get up in stages, so I set an alarm, it half wakes me up then it goes again and I am more awake, then I have a cigarette out the window and have a wash and I’m alright by then. Takes a good half hour to feel normal I think with this routine. I’m not a morning person either!

Somedays are better than others. I have PTSD along with Sz so I constantly have nightmares, as a result when I wake up my delusions are at their strongest and it takes a while for me to realize where I am :disappointed_relieved:

I feel that way when I take Seroquel to help me sleep.

My first half hour is a blur of coffee, meds and music. Don’t remember much of it.

maybe you didn’t get enough sleep, bud…

that sometimes happens to me when I do a lot of things, right before heading to sleep, but then waking up too early without getting enough sleep.

Yep, I have coffee and look at the internet for an hour after waking, and then I’m ready to start the day.

Wish I didn’t do that for an hour because I could accomplish more in a day if I didn’t!

I wake up in a tired daze.

It takes me a couple hours to feel relatively like myself again. I make some tea.

I feel the best in the morning and get worse as the day goes on.
