ELI5- why do you feel groggy after two sleeps with a long gap?

94 viewsBiologyOther

Why do you feel groggy/like a hangover if you are awake for 2-3 hours then go back to sleep as opposed to just staying up?

Eg you sleep 10pm-2am then 5am-7am, waking up second time is like a hangover.

I’m more interested why sleeping 12 hours feels like I didn’t sleep at all and taking that 1-2hr nap after sleeping that long wakes you up.
