befogged
Lost in haze
Befogged means confused or obscured, as if enveloped in fog.
A befogged mind struggles to think clearly.
Befogged judgment is clouded by emotion or fatigue.
The word can describe literal fog—a befogged harbor—but the figurative sense of mental haziness predominates: I woke up befogged and couldn't remember where I was.
