3. I pulled off an all-nighter

… [barely audible] studying

Because studying is a good reason for everything. The question shifts to your career goals and you just owned the situation! Who cares why you got up late? And, no one will question your hangover-like antics because too much studying does that too. Win!

4. My cat was not letting me sleep

It is a reasonable excuse. Pets can be needy sometimes and, more often than not, it’s at night when you are about to crash. They need you to pet them, tell them stories of undying love for them, get them to eat and when you finally want to sleep, they take 80% of the bed. So, here’s a rule, you don’t wake up sleeping babies and sleeping pets.

Even if all this didn’t happen, you can shift the blame. They aren’t going to rat you out.
