clear head
Unfogged thinking state
A clear head is a state of mental clarity, free from confusion, intoxication, or emotional turbulence.
Someone with a clear head can think logically and make sound decisions: I need a clear head before I respond to that email.
The phrase often implies recovery from something that clouded judgment—alcohol, stress, or strong emotion: After a good night's sleep, I woke with a clear head.
