Sharon had this problem of getting up late in the morning and was always late for work. Her boss was mad at her and threatened to fire her if she didn't do something about it. So Sharon went to her doctor who gave her a pill and told her to take it before she went to bed. Sharon slept well and in fact beat the alarm in the morning by almost two hours. She had a leisurely breakfast and drove cheerfully to work.

"Boss", she said, "The pill actually worked!"

"That's all fine,” said the boss, "But where were you yesterday?"
