feeling strange after nap - Anxiety Message Board

i noticed that after naps that are not really sleep schedule, i feel really weird when i get up, like my joints are sore, and i feel kind of lost and confused, does anyone know if this is normal, or what? It feels like my joints in my hands need to be cracked i guess

I've sensed that before. Although, it's not common for me. A good nap is worth money in my book.

Same thing happens to me. I wake up and feel like I'm in la la land, and sometimes get severe headaches when I wake up from a nap. Doesn't happen too often though because I don't take naps often. Don't know what causes it?

this can be a sign of a sleep disorder such as sleep apnea, ask people if you snore heavily or toss and turn a lot in your sleep, use a tape recorder if you sleep alone

I think you are referring to being "sleep drunk"...meaning, you slept so sound that you woke up very disoriented, and still mentally asleep. I wake up like that every day! LOL!! Charlotte
