I have trouble reading when I first wake up. I can see the words, but I have trouble comprehending the intention of the sentences, following the sentences, and generally just kinda stare at the words without getting anything out of them... the words just don't 'stick' in my head... until I get more awake. Strangely though, I can write before I can read... like right now. (No claim that I can write well in this state)
I also have the same problem with verbal communication. People can talk to me and I hear what they are saying, but it doesn't 'stick'. However, unlike written communication, I cannot verbalize before I can effectively listen. It's the opposite.
I cannot do math of any kind until well after my communication centers are online.
I don't think my emotional centers are especially active, other than to motivate me into motion. I'm emotionally very blank at this point. However, it seems like my emotions are closer to the surface than my ability to reason, they're just not 'on'. For example, something that would make me angry when I am fully awake will often just cause me to pause blankly while in my waking up state. However, at some point in the waking up process they will come online before my ability to reason, and I can be overly emotional in those moments before my reason has the capacity to talk me out of acting like a caveman.
It usually takes me forcing myself to engage myself in order to fully wake up faster than say 10-15 minutes (like typing this post is finally waking me up).
Do any of you share this 'freshly awake' state? I'm curious if it's related to function preference.
Edit: As proof of this phenomenon, when I tried to read what I wrote to proof my work, I still had a little trouble reading.
