Sleep Drunkenness
Sleep drunkenness, sometimes called sleep inertia, describes the transitional period between sleeping and waking up. Most people experience a few minutes of sleep inertia, but hypersomnia may result in long periods of sleep inertia that can last up to four hours.4‘Hypersomnia: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments.’ Sleep Foundation, 11 Feb. 2021, www.sleepfoundation.org/hypersomnia
People may experience a strong desire to go back to sleep and force themselves to get out of bed. Individuals affected by sleep drunkenness may speak to other people and answer questions without remembering the conversations later.2‘Hypersomnia Information Page.’ National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, www.ninds.nih.gov/Disorders/All-Disorders/Hypersomnia-Information-Page
