Sleep Drunkeness · Insomnia Coach®

Just curious if anyone else in this forum has experienced "Sleep Drunkeness" (see attached link for a full description to the problem). Over the last several weeks, I have been suddenly awoken 3 times after about 60-90 minutes of sleep in a state of total confusion. It feels almost like my mind is locked in a dream state. I am awake enough to be aware that I am confused but it still takes 15-30 minutes to clear my head enough to go back to bed. Unfortunately for me, that means I have now become fully alert and each episode has pretty much ruined the remainder of the night for me. Pretty frustrating. Just now sure how common this is. https://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/news/20140825/sleep-drunkenness-is-common-and-linked-to-other-behavior-issues#1
