Yes, not that long ago either. I work a 9/80 schedule so every other Friday I have off. We had just had our second daughter a month or so before (so lack of sleep affected my memory) and I woke up thinking it was time to go to work. I had taken a shower and put on my clothes, and just about when I was ready to head out it hit me that it was my Friday off! I was already up and ready to go so I changed into work clothes and mowed the grass.

Yes. This has happened to me though it only got so far as me getting out of bed and heading to the kitchen for coffee.

No.
But sometimes Miko seems to think she's going to visit Catwoman when it's a week day, and she only visits on the weekends.

Well, sort of similar. I get home from work one Friday around 5:00 p.m. It's one of those days in the spring when it is staying light out in the evening a little more noticeably. And it is pretty overcast out, so the sun isn't visible. I laid down and crashed out pretty hard until maybe 8:00 p.m. I slept so deep I woke up feeling like I got a full night's sleep. Then looked at the clock and just saw it was 8:00. So I'm thinking I slept through an entire Friday night. Which I was actually kind of bummed out about, since I was planning on getting together with a friend of mine. So I go downstairs and make a little bite to eat. Of course I looked outside and it looked exactly like what I would expect 8:00 a.m. to look like on an overcast morning. So I go back to my room with a fresh cup of coffee, do a little cleaning up since I am up so early. Go brew another cup of coffee, then go back up to my room and get on my computer and start working on this project I was doing. I had my shades closed and they completely block out the light even on a sunny day. A little after 10:00 p.m. my phone rings and that seemed strange. It was before the days of spam callers. So I answer the phone, and it's my friend. I first asked him if everything was alright. We would never be calling each other at 10:00 a.m. on a Saturday. He says "Yeah, everything is fine. I was just checking to see if you wanted to go out to the bar." I responded "I do, but don't you think it's a little early to be drinking? I don't think they are open yet." He just started laughing and asked "Do you think it's morning?" It was a little confusing, but felt kind of awesome that life handed me a free Friday night. I honestly felt like I went back in time.
EDIT: The fact that I wanted to go to the bar at 10:00 a.m. looks a little sketchy.

No, but I once woke up and got changed into my clothes before realising I’d gotten up too early for work. So I went back to bed.

One time I fell asleep after work. It was a job where I started at 6AM. I woke up at 7PM, thought it was 7AM the next day. I called work and told them I overslept. Dude who answered laughed and told me it was night time....

In New York City, there are many more people who want to be able to park their cars on the street than there are available curbside parking spaces. They also have a law that prohibits parking on one side of the street for several hours on a particular day of the week so that the street cleaners can drive along and clean those sides of the street; this is known as "Alternate Side Parking" rules. On certain holidays and heavy snow days, Alternate Side Parking will typically be suspended. I used to live in a Queens neighborhood where I had to park on the street. There were a bunch of times that I had a day off work or had the morning off and decided to sleep in, forgetting that it was Alternate Side of the Street Parking for where I had parked. When I later got up and went to get the car, I found a nasty ticket with a fine for not having moved the car.  I eventually was able to arrange to park in the parking structure of a nearby hospital, which made parking available to local residents for a monthly fee, but only for after-hours and weekends. This seemed like a great idea since I wouldn't have to spend longer driving around the neighborhood looking for a parking space every day than it had actually taken me to drive all the way from work to where I lived. Unfortunately, as a result, there were a few times that I had the day off work and slept in, forgetting that even though I was off work it didn't mean that the staff at the hospital where I parked my car were also off work. So I still ended up getting a fine for not having gotten up and moved the car! |

Yes. The worse case of this was when I was a kid I went to a school that required uniforms so I got up, got ready, threw my backpack over my shoulder and headed downstairs...my stepdad was heading up the stairs carrying my sleeping sister. He saw me in full school dress and asked what I was doing...I said going to school...he told me it was 11 at night. I went back to bed.
I musta just fallen asleep and woke up thinking I was late for school. My mom bought me a clock for my room after that.

Back in my bread delivery days (1992-1998), we used to have Sunday and Wednesday off. I used to wake up at 12:30am and leave at 1am. Since my days off were split, sometimes one day ran into the next. One morning, I got up as usual. Put coffee on, took a shower, got dressed, grabbed my coffee, headed out the door, got into my truck, started it up, and started heading to work before realizing it was Wednesday. What sucked is that I was now wide awake.

Yes, it's happened a couple of times. Once I actually drove to the office and was surprised to see the parking lot empty which should've been my first clue but it finally clicked when the building was locked.

I did - many years ago when I was in grade school.
Here I am, thinking it's Monday. No one else in my family was up. I think my father went down to where I was because he heard me.
I was frantic....saying I'm going to be late for school.
He said to me, "It's Sunday."

Oh, I can top that. I went to a job interview a week early. LOL! True story! Wrote it wrong on my calendar. And even with that much dedication I still didn't get it!

I have had such an experience once or twice, but you know what really bites? Waking up early (if not exactly bright), thinking it's Sunday and saying to yourself, "Oh, good--I can go back to sleep!"...only to realize the next minute that no, you can't do that...because it's freakin' Monday!  |

Sort of. When they filmed Jason Bourne, I was working from 5am to 11pm not counting traffic for three weeks. One night I was so out of it that when my girlfriend called me after midnight, I thought it was the alarm and immediately started getting ready while telling her on the phone "I have to go to work".

Yes. But then knowing you can get back in bed and sleep in is glorious.
