My mom did something like that once on a Friday evening. She took a nap after work, and woke up around 7:30-8pm. My brother and I were on the couch watching Stargate SG-1, and she comes barreling down the hall yelling at us for letting her oversleep and missing doing payroll for her work. She just wouldn’t believe us when we said it was Friday night, and we even tried explaining that we couldn’t be watching Stargate if it were Saturday morning (this was pre-streaming era). It was hilarious.
Sometimes, it’s really obvious that different parts of our brains don’t all wake up at the same time. The deep, inner parts wake up first, but the frontal cortex that enables critical thinking? It can take a few minutes to boot up.
