post-hypnotic
Triggered when awakened
Post-hypnotic describes suggestions or effects that persist after a hypnotic trance has ended.
A post-hypnotic suggestion is an instruction given during hypnosis that the subject carries out later, often without conscious awareness: Under post-hypnotic suggestion, she felt no craving for cigarettes.
The term appears in psychology and popular culture alike.
