groggier
Less sharp than before
Groggier is the comparative form of groggy, meaning more dazed, unsteady, or sluggish than something else.
Someone waking from anesthesia may be groggier than expected: I'm even groggier this morning than I was yesterday.
The word suggests impaired alertness from sleep, exhaustion, illness, or intoxication.
