Waking up

On waking i feel dreadful, drowsy, disorientated and struggle to get started. Does anyone else experience this?

This looks like it could be down to how long you nap for - there are cycles of time for a regenerating nap that you may need to test to see if they work better.

There is a lot of good info about the mechanics of it here:

In the most beneficial naps, a person will only go into the first and second stages of sleep.
These stages are more superficial and can help a person feel refreshed without them needing to go into a deeper sleep.

A person who wakes up from a nap feeling heavy and groggy likely went further into their sleep cycle.
If this happens regularly after naps, they may want to check how long they are sleeping for and set an alarm.

I dont give myself specific times to sleep. I sleep when i feel i need it or when i want a rest from life, which is often. I could sleep forever. 

I think its a period in my life at the moment that i am struggling with. I just want to hide away from everything. Why is life so difficult? X
