Groggy

"Groggy" describes how a person feels when they are drowsy, disoriented, or sluggish, often after waking up or lacking sleep. It is a state of mental and physical dullness where alertness and coordination are reduced. People often feel this way temporarily, experiencing difficulty concentrating or moving smoothly. Grogginess can result from insufficient sleep, abrupt awakening, illness, or certain medications. It usually diminishes over time as the body fully awakens and regains its alertness.
