Weird wake-up

This morning I heard a bleep from my phone, then silence. The power must have gone out, it was dark and I could not see the time on the clock near the TV. Or an lights from the Tivo or USB switch.

It took me about 30 seconds to remember I was in a hotel in Nevada, and the clock was to my left.

I know the problem

On the first night home after the 33 day road trip this summer, I woke up going - Where are my travel pillows? These feel like hotel pillows. Did Harold forget to put the bright nightlight up? Where is the bathroom anyway?
My travel pillows have a dark purple flannel case (so they don't resemble hotel pillows). The home pillows have simple high thread count cotton (like good hotel pillows).
And we have a dim nightlight in our bathroom, since we know how to find it.
It took me about 30 seconds to remember that I was home. And get up to go to the bathroom.
