What causes grogginess when you first wake up – what about your brain isn’t working?

As a narcoleptic I explain it to people like this. When you sleep, your brain turns into a Zelda game. Your levels of sleep are the dungeons. If you go into the first room in a dungeon, and you lose a heart, it’s easy to go right back out and get more health. The further into the dungeon you go, the longer it takes to get back out. Sleep is like that too. If you are in those light beta waves of sleep, it’s easy to wake up again(partners snores wake you up, you hear dog fart and roll over). If you’re in deep stages of sleep, a blaring alarm waking you up will for sure wake you up, but it will take longer for your brain to catch up to that state of wakefulness.
