A: What time is it?

B: It’s already 9:30.

A: Really? I guess my 20 minute power nap turned into a good three hours. I even slept through my alarm.

B: What were you so tired from?

A: I only got 2 hours sleep last night. I felt fine all day but I just crashed as soon as I got in the door. Sorry about that. Let’s reschedule for tomorrow.
