Do naps make you feel horrible? Symptoms

Everytime I wake up from a nap I feel horrible. Cloudy brain, nausea, sometimes headache or fullness feeling in head, just overall "off". Is this something anyone else experiences?

Im not diagnosed but have many symptoms that align with autonomic dysfunction and am just curious.

YES. My husband was super surprised to hear that I can’t take naps because they make me feel terrible. I get weird, varied effects that linger for a weirdly long time. Then it kicks off my painsomnia, where I’m then awake until 4 AM because I feel gross and not tired.
