Sleep, Awkward and Miscellaneous: Deep sleep

Deep sleep

By Ataraxia - 01/10/2009 07:05 - United States

Today, I woke up to the realization that the 2-hour nap I wanted to take before I went out with my friends last night was actually a 12-hour nap. I missed everything. FML

Naps are important

Today, I realised just how badly I procrastinate because I wanted to take a nap before going out for a friend's birthday, but I kept putting it off until I simply didn't have the time. FML

Today, I woke up in a complete daze. It took me a few minutes to realize what had happened. Apparently my sleepwalking problems have returned, only this time I managed to overdose myself with Nyquil. As a result, I slept for fourteen hours, wet my sheets, and lost my job. FML

Chilled out

Today, I went to the airport a full three hours before my flight departure time just to be on the safe side. I ended up having the best nap of my life and missing my flight. FML

Today, I set aside some time to take a power nap at my desk. I set an alarm, but it didn't go off. I woke up hours later to find my coworkers had surrounded my desk, taking bets on when I'd wake up. FML

Ironic, isn't it?

By Sleepless - This FML is from back in 2016 but it's good stuff

Today, after countless nights of no sleep and only some spontaneous naps, I was finally seeing a sleeping doctor to analyze the problem. I missed the appointment because I ended up sleeping through my alarm after not being able to sleep at all last night. FML

Clever

By Anonymous - 11/12/2024 00:00 - Australia

Today, I thought I'd been really clever by setting my alarm ten minutes earlier to get up on time. I did wake up ten minutes earlier… then promptly fell back asleep for another hour. FML

Brain fog

Today, it was the day of my wedding. I had a massive headache a couple of hours before the ceremony so I decided to take a nap. I told my brother to wake me up an hour before it started. He forgot. Now everyone thinks I ran out on my wife. FML

Today, I pulled an all-nighter to finish rereading my set work for my English exam. I managed to finish earlier than expected and decided to get some sleep. I then promptly slept through my alarm and missed my exam. FML

Today, I woke up at 2 p.m. to realise I'd slept through all of my alarms and missed my really big presentation at university, all because I was up most of the night with food poisoning. FML

"Why bother using an alarm clock when you're just taking a nap?" Because you could end up sleeping for 12 hours.

Haha, that's happened to me before. 8:30 hey naptime until like 10! Wake up at 4 in the morning, disoriented. Not fun.

Yeah, it's always a fun feeling. Disorientation, with a knot of panic in your stomach for missing your plans.

Always use an alarm just in case, dipshit.

Alarms don't work on everyone. I always set 5 alarms on my phone, and sleep through them all.

That happens to me too. My roommate woke me up at 10 this morning when she came in, and my alarm was still ringing. It was set to 8:30.

This is such a dumb FML. "Today I overslept for something not terribly important. FML" I mean come-on. Clearly this was nothing more than a get together, otherwise it would have been more than a "I missed everything" at the end. So you overslept, big ******* deal. Why are you complaining? It's not like you will never be able to spend time with your "friends" again. Who by the way aren't very good friends if they didn't bother trying to find out where you were.

Man this happens to me sometimes too. You set the alarm and you wake up so confused so you turn it off and get back in bed lol. ______________________________ www.myspace.com/rapid99
