EN: dozing off; light sleep
That head-bobbing motion you do in a boring meeting or during a long bus ride in traffic. It's the 'tulog-manok' state where you're not fully asleep but definitely not awake. The body's way of saying 'I give up, kahit 5 minutes lang'.
From 'pagka-' (act of) + 'gupiling' (doze, nap).
A more literary or formal term for dozing off. 'Pag-idlip' is the more common term.
