This happens to me all the time.

As I have aged I have less quality sleep... so I hang there in
an altered state, where I can't remember things, etc.

I've been working on improving my sleep, and finally found something that works.

Melatonin 3mg is not enough. 300mg Theanine is not enough, but when I added in l-tryptophan 500mg ...that did it. If something wakes me up...like last night, I'll get up for an hour or so. All 3 together, gives me sleep again!
But I am sleeping mostly now thru the night, and more clear headed in the morning.

Tryptophan, cannot be used by people on SSRI or SNRI drugs however. I found NOW brand less potent than the Doctor's Best which is significantly stronger at the same dose.

I think while you are in that altered state, your mind is not engaged. Don't let it alarm you...I think it is a normal sleep stage we can get stuck in.
