First off, you made a giant mistake about not being savvy enough about it. You've gotta plan this crap out. Get in a place where you can't be seen, so even when you wake up and people wonder where the hell you've been, you have an excuse you can formulate that's much better than "I was sleeping."
Your best bet is to....
1. Fake an illness. Say something like "I woke up feeling terrible. There's something going around (make up something here, like not feeling well since you were in the locker room @ the gym a few days ago) and I haven't been feeling great. But I figured it was better to at least come in and "tough it out" than just call in sick altogether. Even sick I can get more work done than not showing up at all.
2. Face it head on. Apologize, don't be overly complimentary like "I like that blouse, Amy...is that Goodwill?" Hiding it will just leave them angrier @ you. Women like to lie, sneak around, and hide things...yet they expect men to be up front. Since they have the power, just go by their rules.
3. Milk it. Scratchy voice, you probably already look like dookie, sniff a bit, basically be a good actor. It's not that tough. It won't completely absolve you from what happened, but it's better than just sitting there on your thumbs acting like you hope they didn't notice b/c you do it all the time.
4. Next time, think about where you're gonna sleep before you do it. I'm not saying go all George Costanza, but yeah....copy room on a shelf behind boxes, maybe?
