Article Synopsis
- Sleep inertia causes temporary grogginess after waking, impacting how our brain's activity is connected to blood flow.
- This study uses EEG-fMRI to explore changes in neurovascular coupling (NVC) during the time after awakening, revealing variations in brain signals linked to alertness.
- Findings suggest that both EEG and fMRI data show dynamic relationships as people transition from sleep to wakefulness, highlighting new research opportunities in understanding brain function during these periods.

Article Synopsis
- Sleep inertia (SI) is the groggy feeling you get when you wake up, making it hard to think quickly and focus.
- Scientists studied how the brain works when people wake up by using special brain imaging techniques and tasks to see how well they can pay attention.
- Their results showed that the brain's activity affects how quickly people get back to normal after waking up, and this research helps us understand what happens in our brains when we wake up from sleep.
