I overslept and ended up an hour and a half late for a two-hour exam once. It was a ridiculous exam too; one question, "here's the specification for a weirdo CPU's instruction set, these are your input and output pins, draw me a logic diagram for a CPU that implements it using only NAND by hand on 8.5 by 11 paper." Figuring out how to implement it wasn't that hard, figuring out how to draw a diagram that was legible in too small a space would have been hard no matter how much time there was. I got an A, I think more for being one of three people who didn't drop the class than because he actually managed to interpret the Jackson Pollock diagram I gave him.I still have nightmares about sleeping through undergrad exams
