In England, the land of waking up as something you weren't the night before, there lives one 38-year-old Sarah Colwill, who suffered a major migraine and woke up sounding like she was doing a terrible, racist Chinese accent a little over three years ago. Last night BBC One ran a special on Colwill called The Woman Who Woke Up Chinese. Highlights of the TLC-worthy one-woman reality show (who says she feels like she's "stuck inside of some kinda weird social experiment") are above.
