n.
The grogginess and disorientation that a person feels for a few minutes after a sleep or long nap.
Example Citation:
"'Most people should only nap for 30 minutes or so, ' Camille says. 'More than that and you're getting into deeper sleep.' And the problem with deeper sleep is waking up from it without succumbing to what's known as 'sleep inertia' — that groggy, stumbling-around feeling.
