If that makes sense, like when you first wake up on a given day, what processes and activity is happening in your brain, organs, etc.
Is your brain literally saying come on let’s go, wake up?
What about if you’re woken up abruptly like in an emergency, loud sound, etc?
In: Biology
Well when we are sleeping our body is quite literally in a energy-saving state. A lot of our physiological processes are slowed down. We breathe more slowly and there is a larger interval between each inhalation. Even our heart slows down to its slowest possible (sinus heartbeat) and the blood pressure also drops.
So it is just normal to think that when we wake up we need those 5 minutes to readjust everything. The lower oxygen intake paired with the blood pressure causes the exhaustion that we feel in all the muscles immediately after waking up.
I am unsure of what involves getting waken abruptly but I assume it has something to do with release of adrenaline to fasten up these processes and dont feel the “post-sleep coma”.
