EN: half-asleep; drowsy
"Agaw-tulog" is that state you're in during a 1 PM meeting after a heavy lunch. Your eyes are open, but your brain has logged off. It's when you're on a bus, your head keeps nodding, and you're trying to fight sleep but sleep is winning. Literally "sleep-snatching," but here, sleep is the one doing the snatching.
From "agaw" (to snatch) and "tulog" (sleep).
Describes the drowsy state just before falling asleep or just after waking up.
