Morning Ray is here

Ray wakes up to her alarm clock going off swots her arms around her head to get the noice out of her head and fully wakes up when she accidentally hits the wall because Morning Ray's motor control does not function. Ray groans, opens her eyes, and switches off her alarm.
Ray stumbles out off bed and heads for the bathroom almost walking into her flatmate on the way. She mumbles what is supposed to be 'morning' but probably sounds more like a grunt.
Ray drags herself into the shower - burning herself when she turns the water on too hot - then proceeds to wash. Enough details about that.
Ray drags herself out of the bathroom and back to her room where she spends long periods of time "getting dressed" which involves staring at clothes for a long period of time trying to decide what to wear, and then putting in the effort to actually actually pick it up and put it on. Ray also generally puts on at least one item of clothing backwards or inside out and has to change it which makes the dressing process even longer.
Ray goes to get some breakfast. Then sits on the couch staring vacantly at the wall occassionally taking another mouthful. If she has a hot drink it will still be 3/4 full by the time it gets cold. Ray will force herself to drink another 1/4 of the cup not wanting to waste it and then finish breakfast about 3/4 hr after starting it. Flatmates look at Ray during this time and either laugh or decide that it's not worth talking to her. Apart from the occassions where they try to get Ray to say stupid things. The challenge is drawing out intelligible sentences. Of course the whole breakfast stage often gets missed because Ray is almost always running late for class or whatever else she has to do that morning.
Ray eventually snaps out of being morning Ray about 1-1 1/2 hours after waking up. No-one know what triggers the change.

I'm not a morning person... can anyone tell? Also I am supposed to be writing essays...
