slept with a wet fish

When all of a sudden you realize something terrible has happened to you, it feels like being slapped in the face with a wet fish. In instances where you gain this insight right after waking up, you have obviously 'slept with a wet fish' only to realize what a fool you've been after you wake up.

When I woke up and realized those conmen had tricked me out of a lot of dough last night, I really knew I had slept with a wet fish all night long!
