Hi,

As always I'll just say what I think happened. From what you described as being awake and asleep at the same time, I'd say that you were in a hypnagogic state. Between the waking and the dream state. I can't say anything about your feelings or thoughts, because that differs from person to person. Since you say you spent so much time conscious I'm guessing you went in and out of lucidity and dreams while you went through your sleep cylces. I don't know why this happened, this is just speculation. I also have no idea why you were tired in the morning. This might have just happened because of some random favourable sircumstances. All kinds of hallucinations are to be expected in hypnagogia and (ofcourse) dreams.

This happens to me all the time. Especially if I wake up in the middle of the night.

That's what I have to say...
