This is something that happens to me from time to time since I was a kid.
I would take a nap after lunch, on a day like today. Then sometimes wake up feeling disoriented and depressed. Other times I’d feel fine.
What causes this specifically and why does it only happen sometimes?

There are different stages of sleep. Light, deep, and REM. Waking up when still in the deep sleep phase leaves you groggy and moody.
The Stuff You Should Know podcast just had an episode on naps.
