* The Literature/{{Animorphs}} have this happen to them on occasion. [[BookDumb Marco]] seems to make a habit of it. Their resident alien Ax also [[NotSoDifferent had a habit of it]], back in the Andalite version of cadet school. Whenever the plot requires him to not know something specific about the alien {{Phlebotinum}} of the day (such as the mechanics of [[TimeyWimeyBall sario rips]], or the finer points of ship repair), he was asleep that day, or was daydreaming, or there was a girl, or a sporting event... well, you get the picture.
