Just the other day, I woke up one morning for work feeling unusually well rested... looked at the alarm clock and it wasn't 7am, it was 9am. Good thing the cops weren't out that morning...

A few years back, I was on a weekly travel schedule for work. I had to catch a flight every Monday morning at 8am. So one Monday, my alarm clock started going off and I slept right through it... until finally my husband shook me awake and said "It's 7am." I said "so what?" He said "You have to catch a plane at 8." I jumped out of bed, got dressed, grabbed my suitcase, hailed a taxi, and unbelievably, made my flight. That weekend I bought a new alarm clock.

Then there was the time I forgot to set my alarm and showed up for a final an hour late... luckily the prof was very understanding and let me stay an hour after time was called. *whew*
