It's raining heavily, chilly, and you just pulled the covers up over your back, which was cold from being exposed.

That was this morning. I texted everyone that I'd be late and went back to sleep. I failed the escape room, but it was worth it.
Your room is fucking cold
But the blankets are warm. That's part of it.
Books and hot tea on the bedside table
Lemmings awaiting you from the other side of an LCD screen
You flipped the pillow to the fresh side just before pulling the covers over you.
Bonus round - you have a heated mattress pad, set to 3 (or whatever is perfect for you, I’m a 2-3 with my pad), and enough pillows around you to give you that snuggly feeling (for me it’s 3, but there are an additional 3 supporting pillows to allow the 3 comfy pillows to do their job optimally)
And your cats/dogs are all cuddled against you. Because warm.
Good luck.
*and your friends just cancelled plans
And there's a cat on you.
That's not an escape room, that's the world's nicest supermax prison.
Hard mode: it's a bit cold
Extreme mode: it's raining outside.
Insanity mode: cats are cuddling with you
Level 2: You hit the alarm off, not the snooze.
Think to self, it has probably been 5 minutes already, I should get up. Look at watch, hmmmmmm that can't be right, how did 45 minutes just disappear?
I will escape with exactly one minute to spare every time
"Ah, I don't have to get up as early as usually, so I have more time to get ready in the morning."
Proceeds to waste time regardless and almost misses the train
Lo, I have been bested.
"Sorry I'm late. I woke up in an escape room this morning."
Someone had padlocked my underwear drawer... Again.
Escape room? I just call it November.
Five more minutes?
I see that you've met my fiancee.
That's why I'm glad I work in homeoffice and have a job phone
