Tom had this problem of getting up late in the morning and was always late for work. His boss was mad and threatened to fire him if he didn't do something about it.

So Tom went to his doctor who gave him a pill and told him to take it before he went to bed. This Tom did. Tom slept well and in fact beat the alarm in the morning by almost two hours. He had a leisurely breakfast and drove cheerfully to work.

"Good morning Boss", he said, "My doctor prescribed something to help me get to work on time. The pill actually worked! I had a GREAT sleep. I have lots of energy because of it, and I'm ready to tackle that new project you gave me."

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