ok, so a thing I've noticed with these random 10 to 18 hour sleeping sessions is that reality feels wrong afterward.

Like, I think existing -- the conscious experience of feeling and reacting to sensations or sensory inputs from your body (and mind, which is somehow perceived as different for no reason 🙄) --
is a habit.

You have to be in the flow or familiar with how existing feels. Otherwise it's unusual or unfamiliar.

This feels tautological af, but whatever. Allistic people need sad music to know a scene is "supposed to be" sad, so maybe this does bear clarification.

“If you start at age 55 and go forward until your 95th birthday, there are two options: You die before dementia, or you get to dementia before death,”... From age 55 to 75, he noted, the risk of developing dementia is only about 4 percent. That increases substantially over the next two decades, particularly after people’s 85th birthdays.
