RE: Fact Of The DaySleep drunkenness is a recently discovered sleep disorder affecting 1 in 7 people.
Sleep drunkenness is a real sleep disorder, officially referred to as
confusional arousal. It is characterized by episodes in which a person
awakes and remains in a state of disorientation, and occurs in one out of
every seven people, according to a 2014 study from the National Institutes
of Health. Sleep drunkenness is most likely to occur when a person is in
the deeper state of the sleep cycle known as non-rapid eye movement (REM)
sleep, and gets woken up suddenly. Over 60% of all reported episodes of
sleep drunkenness last over five minutes, and 84% of people with the
disorder also reported having other sleeping disorders or using drugs that
alter brain chemicals, such as antidepressants.
