Sleeping in Slow Motion

Has this happened to you? You go to bed, maybe earlier than usual, then sleep for hours and hours and hours. You dream three, maybe four movies. You toss and turn more than a huge cement mixer truck. Finally, you wander down to the bathroom to check in the mirror to see how bright your teeth are, and wander back to bed. Before you dive in one more time, you glance at the alarm clock and expect to see it read 5:30, maybe 6 a.m. Instead, it says only 1:30. What the heck? Something should be done about that.
