Every time I wake up, whether it's from a nap or from a night's sleep, I have to readjust to being alive, it seems. I feel mad and sad and any human interaction is clouded by this.

I've made many a friend and lover cross at me upon waking for no good reason! It's kinda funny but not really. I remember being very young, it was this way back then too.

I just need about ten minutes to blink and reorganize my reactions to consciousness, is all!

Just give me ten minutes and then we can smile and talk. Ten minutes. Sometimes fifteen.
