Deep sleep

[intothevoidx]

I have this weird problem where I will take a nap during the day after I get home from school and soon after I fall asleep my dad will always wake me up to tell me to do something etc. Everytime he does this I will be about an hour into sleep and all of the sudden he wakes me up and everything he says to me is forgotten within seconds. For example he tells me what to do and I get up and by the time I get to the door I no longer remember what he said. Does this happen to anyone else? It's quite annoying.....

It's normal. In the (British) army, you are not held responsible for your actions within the first minute of waking. This is why, should you need to be woken quickly, the NCO will always use a stick and stand away because they know if you go for them, you'll get away with it

 

Coming from a deep sleep, you are not processing external information well, so it's not surprising that if you have some presented within the first few seconds, you won't remember it.

 

Just tell him that if he wants you to remember what he tells you, he heeds to wait until you are receptive to it and focussed.

It happens to me all the time. I end up not doing anything that my parents tell me to do after I wake up because I'd think it was a dream. Maybe you're just tired and have a lot of things on your mind.

lol, really? I didn't know that.

 

yeah, it happens to me sometimes, but i don't forget everything, its just a few specific details that i can't remember. I guess the brain needs a few secs to warm up
