Sleep deprived

Jason woke up slowly, confused as he often was upon waking up. He routinely slept poorly, and thus kept a clock nearby his bedside, so that he could easily check whether or not he could go back to sleep or if he had to get up and start the day. He could see the sun streaming in through the window, and figured it must be somewhat close to his wake up time, which was around seven in the morning.

Looking at the clock, however, he could clearly read that it was 4:30. He rubbed his eyes, thinking that perhaps he had read it wrong. But no, it was most certainly only 4:30 in the morning. But that couldn't be. The sun was definitely out, and his room was brightly lit by it. Something wasn't adding up, but Jason was much too tired to understand what was happening.

Perhaps something had happened in the night, and his clock had become desynchronized. That made sense. He reached around his bed for his phone, which he also kept nearby for similar purposes to the clock, but he couldn't find it. He groaned out loud, groggy and slow, and attempted to kick his covers off of his body so that he could stand up. It took him several tries, but eventually he got them off and stood up.

He walked over to his desk to pick up his glasses, but realized half way over that he could already see clearly. His hand clumsily grasped at his face, pushing his glasses painfully into his nose. Somehow he had gone to sleep without taking his glasses off. Jason was only more confused by that, but as his hand slid back away from his face, he also noticed that he was still in his normal clothes. He slept in his underwear.

Frustrated and confused, Jason turned back to his bed and grabbed his covers, throwing them roughly back and forth in an attempt to find his phone. After a few attempts it dropped to the floor, and he picked it up, checking the time. By that point, three minutes had passed, and his phone clearly read 4:33.

Jason looked back to the window, more confused then ever. Only as his eyes drifted back to the bed, trying to understand, did he notice his laptop resting by his pillow. He always put his laptop on his desk before going to bed.

Abruptly he understood what had happened. Sleep deprived for too long, He had passed out on his computer a mere half an hour beforehand. It wasn't 4 in the morning, but 4 in the afternoon. Jason groaned and sat back down on his bed, rubbing his eyes.

He really needed to get more sleep.
