This morning we had our usual Monday team meeting. I was running on like 4 hours of sleep because I slept during the day yesterday and I just couldn’t sleep during the night and when the morning came up I was feeling extremely tired. I joined the call and I figured I could get through it if I just kept my camera off and stayed muted.

Well, after 10 minutes or so I leaned back in my chair and I fell asleep. I woke up 45 minutes later to a Slack message from my manager saying, “Hey, were you having connection issues? I was calling your name during the meeting, but you didn’t respond’ The worst part is that I had a speaking part toward the end of the meeting and I completely missed it (that’s probably when my manager called my name). Now I have to pretend I had some kind of technical problem or emergency nap disorder or something. Lesson learned: do not trust yourself with “just resting your eyes” during a Zoom call.

TL;DR: I fell asleep during the weekly meeting since I was very tired from the night before
