Explanation:

The clues: the alarm clock's second hand moving backward, unfamiliar daisy wallpaper (not her usual blue), and an old rotary phone replacing her modern computer all point to a shift to a time before modern tech. Her confusion about the strange, outdated items confirms she is not in her present time.

Answer:

She has traveled into the past.
