I have a lot of back-to-back Zoom meetings. So, I set my alarm for 15 minutes before each meeting to remind me to try to get out of the meeting and prepare for the next one. When the alarm goes off 15 minutes before my meeting, I hit the snooze button, and the alarm goes off for 10 minutes. So, it goes off again 5 minutes before the meeting, and I make sure I am off the current meeting and log on to the next meeting. This weekend, I was up until 6 am Saturday and got up early Sunday morning. So, on Monday, I was still exhausted. I had a meeting at 10:30 am and another at 1 pm. I was preparing for the 1 pm meeting by reading some papers, but I kept falling asleep in my chair. My alarm went off, saying I had 15 minutes before my 1 pm meeting, and I hit snooze. Then it went off again 5 minutes before the meeting, and I told myself I had 5 minutes before going to the meeting. But in those 5 minutes, I went back to sleep in my chair. After about 15 minutes, Barb came in and said don't you have a meeting. I said oh no, I fell asleep. I went online, and the fellow was waiting for me. He had sent me an email saying he was in the waiting room waiting for me. I said I fell asleep. I was so surprised that I fell asleep quickly, even when I knew I had a meeting in 5 minutes.
