I am like that too. It's interesting because it's subtle...it took me awhile to realize that I wasn't fully waking up until a few hours after "waking up."

I have a solid case of delayed sleep phase disorder
if I can follow my own ass backwards cyrcadian rythym, like if I can go to bed at 5-6 AM and get up around 3 pm, I have no problems at all, hell I don't even need an alarm clock... I kick ass on night shifts.
but if I have to go by normal civilian time, like if I have to be awake at 7 AM it takes me pretty much the whole day to snap out of the fog... can't sleep at a 'normal' hour without a heavy dose of sleeping pills really, and frequently sleep through my alarm... been like this basically my whole life.
a giant pain in the ass, living on normal civilian time is like living with a permanent 12 hours of jet lag

Fuck me, I didn't know it had a name!!! I've had this since a teen; makes perfect sense now, and explains why I've always felt driven to work night shifts..

ya I think it's more common then the medical community realizes at this point... when I found out about it around 2006 or so I was like HOLY SHIT!, that's what the fuck is going on!
it can be a royal fucking pain living with it.. people see you as lazy and shit because you can't wake up, or you sleep all day yada yada... if only they knew the struggle lol...
it kinda sucks their's no known cure really, light therapy and melatonin and all that jazz doesn't really work for most with this predicement, you basically have to adjust your life to make it work somewhat, IE nightshifts and stuff... but still, even then it's really not a night owls world out there
