Bearded dragon slow to wake up.

For the past three days steffern has been very slow to wake up, its 10 rn, her lights come on at 6:50 she’s usually up and underneath after 10 minutes, i know shes not brumating or is sick (cause she does eventually come out) , if i put my hand in there to pet her she immediately perks up and will come out, her lighting is only 3-4 months old at most (should I change it anyway? I got extra bulbs) any ideas or thoughts? It has been raining for the past three days so maybe there’s a correlation there.

They all have their lazy days --- as long as shes eating and not losing weight pooping and coming out to bask whether its early or late shes fine- weather can have effect on the behavior - Hiccup was in his hide last week or the week before for 3 days didnt come out - just napping and awake w/ his head poked out - I left him alone and eventually he came out and has been basking etc --- your UVB is fine dont change it --

Forgot to mention, she is shedding half her face, and it is at the stage of it being irritating, she did just happily and ravenously take two hornworms at once from me… lemme know what y’all think…

That could be some of the behavior as well -- once the shed starts to get dry and crackly mist her and take a soft baby toothbrush and brush it - the toothbrush will loosen the shed and some may come off
