Right? It's complex.

I very often wake up from whatever dream state or deep sleep I've been in and need a moment to remember who I am, that I'm female, etc. Ditto coming out of general anesthesia. My first sense/thought is always something like "I am me" or "Here I am, waking up" and remembering my name and sex and everything else happens afterwards.
