That moment when you're peacefully asleep and your brain decides to remind you that you left a database transaction hanging somewhere in production. Nothing quite like the cold sweat of realizing thousands of users might be experiencing locked tables because you forgot a single COMMIT statement.

The worst part? You're now wide awake, grabbing your laptop, and praying to the database gods that auto-commit was enabled. Spoiler alert: it wasn't. You know it wasn't. Because when does anything ever work in your favor at this hour?

Fun fact: Uncommitted transactions can hold locks indefinitely, blocking other operations and potentially bringing your entire application to a grinding halt. Sleep is for people who don't work with databases.
