What are some issues that can look like seizures upon waking but not be. shallow breathing and limpness and not responsive but then fine once awake

Seizures: Your presentation is not classic for any specific disease. Sleep apnea being more commonly recognized now will need to be considered especially if you are overweight, short necked, and snore at night and have low energy throughout the day. If that doesn't fit your case, then next best step would be to talk to a local doc and do appropriate work up.
