I see memes and stuff about people doing this and I genuinely don’t understand the reason behind it
Tell us you don’t have a full time job without telling us.
Sometimes you just take it all in that this is your life, this is your surroundings, and this is where you’ll be for the foreseeable future, just before you get up, to work, eat, and sleep.
I’m tired and can’t be bothered to get out of bed yet, need to wake up a bit more.
TW: Suicidal ideation
When I was at a point where I genuinely considered killing myself instead of going into work I was doing that like everytime I woke up. I sat in bed debating if going to work was worth it or if I could just end it.
I have envied people who are fully aware and alert and ready when they wake up.
For me, it takes longer than a few minutes
I typically wake up dehydrated AF. So I wake up, drink the glass of water I set out next to me the night before, and wait to not feel like I have a whole ecosystem growing in my mouth. It’s 5-10 min for me, then it’s up, toilet, restart work laptop, make coffee, greet my Person, and finally login to work laptop for the work day. 8 second commute to my work desk is choice.
“Ah fuck I’m still here”
This is not a universal phenomenon. This is the result of stress affecting sleep by causing sleep latency problems or the quality of the sleep itself leaving the individual non-refreshed upon waking and needing a refractory period to recover from sleeping before getting out of bed. The reason it’s coming up a lot more often is that greater numbers of people are experiencing the health consequences of chronic stress.

Fighting that urge to lay back down
In my case it just takes a while to get the gears running, but it’s usually 5 minutes at most
