Basically i never have a nap or an afternoon sleep.

But this one time i was so tired and i fell asleep in my computer chair at about 4pm this one time. I then woke up at about 7pm when it had just gotten dark and i panicked. For the first 10 seconds i literally didn't have a clue what day it was or what time it was or even where i was

Does anyone else feel this confused after a mid day nap?

    There have been a lot of these posts lately. It is normal to feel a bit off after a nap.

    It is normal. You're not fully awake for a few seconds.

    When you sleep, if you don't get REM sleep, you can wake up even more tired than before the nap.

    My sleep schedual is messed up at this point in my life, so I nap quite often and every time I wake up, I feel confused and lethargic as fuck.

    Yeah it can be disorientating. I remember when I used to do shift work my sleeping patterns became so erratic that every time I woke there was a good few minutes of confusion.
