A disaster cascade

Those of you of a medical bent may recall the coagulation cascade. This is where an event (eg. injury to a blood vessel wall) initiates a sequence of events, a cascade of chemical reactions if you will. I don't think I can be bothered to explain properly, but I'm sure Wikipedia has a nice summary if anyone is interested.vv

Yesterday, I think I left my phone on the bus. Today I forgot to wake up because my phone is my alarm clock. I am now wondering what the next event in this cascade will be. Which enzyme will be activated due to me forgetting to get up?

Possibly the one where I get in trouble with the people who monitor attendance... but WHO KNOWS! It's all very exciting being a part of biochemistry.
