Strange 'Time Loss' Experience While Using My Laptop
Hey everyone, I had the weirdest experience this morning and I'm wondering if anyone else has gone through something similar.
I woke up early feeling tired, so I decided to quickly check some work emails before going back to sleep. But when I turned on my laptop, I seemed to enter this strange trance-like state. For the next 6 hours, I was apparently browsing different websites, but I have no memory of it at all! When my laptop finally died, I 'woke up' feeling like I had just been asleep the whole time.
It's taken a while, but some fuzzy memories are starting to come back now. I checked my browser history and confirmed I really was active online that whole time. I'm honestly a bit freaked out by this bizarre time loss.
I think the root cause is probably severe sleep deprivation - I've only slept about 20 hours total since Thursday. So I'm definitely going to focus on catching up on rest. But I'm really curious if there's a name for this phenomenon or if others have experienced it. Was it some kind of dissociative state? Let me know your thoughts!
