#1 is best. Both clauses use the past tense. #2, no, because you change tenses from past to past perfect.
#3 & #4. I don't really like either of them, but they are grammatical. #4 would be better if "so" was replaced by "very". #3 is very informal and might be okay in a sentence, but "that" is a pronoun with no antecedent here. In #4 it is a conjunction which is used correctly.
"That" has at least three uses:

#5 is fine. It does not say he slept until 10:00, though. He could have been staring at the ceiling, reading, watching television, or sleeping.
