Burning the Midnight Oil

It's 12:24am and I'm working. Every night (Sunday - Thursday) I have 2 nightly calls with India. And then after that, I work for 2-3 hours. I might as well as just work at night and sleep during the day because everyday I get so tired that my efficiency at work might as well be zero. (Ok, I'm not that bad...I think)

Every Wednesday, there is an hour-long team meeting that occurs at 7:00am. Most (99%) of the time, I don't have to say anything except for the roundtable in the end, where the manager calls on everyone to see if they have anything else to add, at which point, I, like pretty much everyone else, say "nope, nothing from me." So usually, I set my alarm for 6:55am, which just gives me enough time to wake up to the alarm to dial in. Once this is accomplished, I then put myself on mute (i.e. no one else can hear me), and go to sleep for about 55 minutes, until the time for the roundtable. Usually, I have my laptop on my bed, very close to me, so I don't fall asleep completely and miss the roundtable.

Today, because I was having issues with my laptop screen, I decided to leave it on my desk. So I dialed in, muted myself, and then crawled back into bed. Slowly, I began to drift into a semi-conscious state where I can hear what people are saying on the call, but not so much process it... This went on for what felt like...maybe 30 minutes. Then, at one point, I heard "ok let's do the roundtable...". Since it's always in alphabetical order, I'm always last. After hearing people go before me, I prepared myself for my turn. (This usually involves me clearing my voice and practicing at least once, since I sound like a ... well, I sound nothing like myself in the morning). Then I heard, "H, do you have anything else[to say]?" "Nope, I'm good," I said. "Ok folks, that's all for today..."

some time later...
I woke up to an alert sound from my computer. I looked at the time: 8:30am...

!!!

UM...have I been dreaming this whole time??
