Ten Years In The Past

After a head injury, a man has an unusual problem: every time he falls asleep, he wakes up ten years in the past.
John Barker had been a hardworking man his entire life. However, it all changed the day he tripped during a work conference and hit his head on a table. Initially he was alright, but two weeks afterwards, strange things began to occur. Every time John fell asleep, he would wake up back in the year 2010. At first, he had no idea what was happening. But soon enough, he realized he had a special time travelling ability due to his head injury.
John was both terrified and intrigued by his newfound power, and he knew he had to do something with it. After carefully considering his options, he decided to use it to try and fix his life. He believed if he did enough small changes in his past, it would have a ripple effect in his future. 
So, John began travelling back in time to fix his past mistakes. He got the job he wanted back in 2010, ended a toxic friendship, changed his living environment, and improved his self-esteem. Soon enough, his small changes began to pay off.
By the time he reached 2021, his life was mostly how he wanted it. His career had taken off, he was surrounded by good friends, and he was mentally and physically healthy. 
Though every time John fell asleep, he was transported back to 2010, he had accepted this as a part of his life. For him, it was a chance to reflect on his life and appreciate the progress he had made. 
John was thankful for his second chance, and he had only himself to thank.
