“Sorry if is difficult but I have a weird thing. I need about 5 minutes, when I wake up, to just be in my own little world. Would you please not talk to me right after I’ve woken up?”
Things like this can have an enormous effect on one’s stress levels. If you know it stresses you, that’s enough cause for you to benefit from getting the people around you to give you a little space in the morning.
5 minutes is superhuman btw, I need a good half hour before anyone can expect anything remotely reasonable from me
I'm a 10-15 guy myself
You should ask for what you need. Even if people refuse, at least it’s an outright refusal which is more clear than not having asked.
It feels uncomfortable, but the payoff for this kind of boundary-drawing is enormous.
This but it's like 6 hours for me.
