Falling asleep during hurricanes has its perks. Thus far, I've not fallen asleep driving, unlike Brandon, and haven't fallen asleep while eating at a dinner table, with his eyes open, like Lehman did one time.
However, in December of 2002, I did something pretty stupid.
I was studying for my Cal I final. The exam started at 1p. I stayed up cramming, trying to get derivatives straight and all of its related properties. I set my alarm for 12:30p. I lived on campus so I was only about 10 minutes from the classroom.
At some point I fell asleep in the morning at my desk. I woke up at 2:30p. The alarm had been sounding for 2 hours continuously, but it had no effect. I'm not sure what actually woke me up. My roommate wasn't around and no one was by my door.
When I realized the time, I grabbed a pen and started jogging to the classroom. I arrived, sweaty and out-of-breath and pleaded for a chance to take it. My professor seemed to consider it. He finally then handed me an exam. I did decently enough, at least.
Next time, more alarm clocks.
