    When I was in my early 20s working retail, I had a dream where I was at work ringing up a customer at the register, and the register just wouldn’t cooperate.

    It kept ringing up the wrong price, wouldn’t apply a discount, and worst of all was making an awful beeping sound that kept getting louder.

    The customer was getting more and more upset with me, and I was starting to panic and smack at my register to get it to shut up. It worked a few times but it just kept happening…

    And that’s how my sleep-deprived brain tricked me into slapping the snooze on my 5am alarm 20 times, sleeping through practically my entire shift and nearly losing my job.
