title: False Awakening
---
It was noon. I was tired and decided to lie down for a bit. I didn't want to fall asleep, though, so I tried to stay awake and kept checking the time since I had to go to the uni later. This went on for quite a while, resulting in a constant cycle of dozing → remembering to check the time → looking at my smartphone to check the time → going back to dozing → and so on.
At some point, I actually must have fallen asleep for quite a while. I opened my eyes to take my smartphone once again when I noticed that my room was dark. It must've been late -- about 9 or 10pm -- which immediately irritated me. I had been tired, but not _that_ tired.
I stood up and groggily went to my desk to switch on my desk lamp. I pressed the button and heard the usual click noise, but nothing happened. After a few more tries, I eventually pulled the lamp towards me to see if the LED bulb at least flickered. It was completely dead.
I walked back to my bed to check on my smartphone what time it actually was. I was greeted by my lock screen, but it looked different than usual: There was only empty space where the clock should have been and overall it just looked "wrong."
This whole situation felt strange and I started to wonder what was going on, when I suddenly felt like all of my strength was sucked out of my body. My head was spinning and I collapsed onto my bed. I couldn't even think straight anymore and just wished for it to stop, for me to wake up... and that's when I did. For real, this time.
