Waking up to early

Let me tell you the epic tale of what happened to me this morning:

I was somewhere, doing something. Something really really important. It looked like it was going well, and I think we were really going to make it when all of a sudden things went wrong. I'm not entirely sure what happened but it was very loud and may have involved flashing lights. I turned to shout at my co-worker (I'd say more but I can't remember) and was half way through my sentence of utmost importance when everything went.
It took me a good few seconds to register exactly what had happened. The lights weren't flashing anymore (if they were in the first place) and the room was dark, but the siren-like noise was wailing on. Also I had moved.
It was vitally important that my co-worker of some description knew what I was saying, but suddenly I didn't know who they were, or where I had been, or what I had been saying. I didn't really get what was going on, especially why the sirens were still wailing but I knew I had to remember what I had been saying.
It was then that the rest of my brain started to wake up and told me I was in my room, it was 5:37 and the fire alarm was going off. I wondered for a little while on what this meant, but brain was already on it. "Shoes, coat, out."
My heart was still going pretty fast, my head was still trying to catch what was going on and I still really needed to know what I had been saying but I somehow managed to shoe,coat and out.
On the way back from the common room I realised that I would never know what I had been saying or doing, so I might as well stop trying to remember.
I needed a cup of tea to calm my 'really bad at suddenly getting up and still a bit out of it'-ness, (I still felt like I'd had a bit of a shock really) but in a handleless cup it was too hot to hold. So I went to have a nap instead, and overslept.
And this is why I missed the 8am prayer meeting today. (Luckily no lectures till 10, or I'd have missed that too.)
And it is also why fire-alarms shouldn't go off while your in mid-sentence about something really important.
