Sometimes you need to treat yourself to a cheeky sleep in. Maybe it’s because you’re exhausted from putting in the hard yards necessary for maintaining a ‘normal' adult life. Or you took one look at the clock and sent yourself back into a voluntary coma. Either way, it’s well deserved. The trick to getting away with it at work, however, is giving your boss the perfect excuse.
In case you find yourself falling victim to a sneaky sleep in any time soon, the following is a list of foolproof (...and occasionally foolish) excuses that your boss will believe [almost] every time.

Honestly, I just couldn’t get out of bed. It’s just too damn comfortable.
