How long does it take you to become fully functional after you wake up?

[Midlander]

Almost immediately. But it didn't use to be that way. Maybe there is one advantage to getting older....

I am almost instantly awake. It is strange and this would always really bug my ex-girlfriend, because she took so long to wake up but I'd be jumping around at 7am. I don't know when it started but even without work or school I am still an early bird. I haven't woke up past 10am in years.

If I shower first thing, I'm usually good after soaking for about ten minutes. Otherwise it could take up to thirty minutes before I feel real good.

depending on the method of waking up (ie, somebody shaking me awake v. naturally waking up) not more than 5 minutes. However, I need a full 30-45 minutes of "boot up time" before i can go to the gym in the morning.

About a minute probably... unless my senses are confused to the point where I have no sense of time when I wake up... and in that case... I have no idea.

So ask Ladybuggy

30 minutes

I don't wake up until 9-9:30, so I feel well-rested and alert when I wake up. I woke up at 7 today and I felt tired, but not unable to function properly.

Like 30 minutes.

Yeah, depends on how I'm woken up and if I was drinking the night before...usually, probably 15-30 seconds. phone call at 9AM after a night of hard drinking...I won't remember a thing from the conversation, upwards of a few minutes.

Same here. I actually could not tell you the sound of my alarm clock, when I get up I just turn it off. When I hop into the shower I'm still kinda grogy and lose concept of time. After shower I'm mostly awake.

It depends on how much sleep I've gotten and the quality of my sleep. Sometimes I wake up and feel wide awake instantly. Other times, it'll be a good half an hour before I would be able to have a coherent conversation.

This = instant awake.

I still need to do some stretching and whatnot but other than that the brain is as good as its gonna get but then again thats not really saying much The sound of my alarm makes me a little angry til I turn it off, I get shivers when I hear that "beep beep beep" sound on tv or in movies.

Me too actually..... Its like some kind of mental conditioning, the sound my old alarm used to make when it woke me up for school. I cant stand it. I have the radio wake me up nowadays, clyde 1 fm.

I do not wake up gradually. When I wake up, I am awake! But, I can fall asleep anywhere, anytime.

Maybe it's my OCD, but my brain is ON when I wake up.

 

[Dumac]

30 minutse to an hour, I would say.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

depends how long i have been sleeping and how im woken up

if i am woken up from a nap i likely wont know where i am or what day it is for a few minutes. first 30 sec are usually full on freakout.

otoh if i wake up naturally after a full nights rest, im good in 30s
