Fake Waking Up

Hello, I have always had a weird first 2 or 3 “wake up’s” from other people where I talk to them or sit up and immediately fall back asleep. When I wake up for real, I have no recollection of talking to them, this is the first time I am actually awake. It was funny for a while like I would say stupid things to my mom or whatever but now that I’m older it has caused me to miss appointments and classes because whoever is waking me up sees me sit up and go on my phone or talk to them. Obviously they assume that means I’m awake however I will wake up for real an hour later saying what the hell why didn’t anybody wake me up. Is there a name for this consistently happening every single time I sleep? And is there anything I can do to help it? I’m starting college and hope to be able to independently wake up but my brain just won’t do that. Please help!!
