Happy Insomnia Day!

By Morgannaken - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United Kingdom

Today, my mum woke me up before seven in the morning on a Saturday so I could open my birthday presents. I'm an insomniac and I had just fallen asleep. I wasn't even awake yet and she yelled at me to be more enthusiastic. FML

For all the people who are calling the OP ungrateful or a bitch and that she can just go to sleep when she's done opening presents...you do realize that she actually cannot. That what insomnia is, lacking the ability to fall asleep just because one wants to. This was the OP's birthday, that means she should have the right to do what she wants on this day, even if it is sleeping(Something that would be precious to an actual insomniac). Of course since I'm guessing most of you don't actually understand what the Op's going through, you'll just idiotically insult her throughout saying she should be grateful.

My mom pulled that shit, too. Completely invade your space, disrupt your routine, then you get an earful of "It's your birthday, BE HAPPY!"

Another hypochondriac. In America everyone has the flu left and right, insomniac, migrane etc etc the list goes on. Stop your self-diagnostics people!

this is not an FML situation. Maybe if your mom was like "oh yeah and the dog died last night", then it would be FML. but this? nah.

if your mom knows you're insomniac then she is an ass and FYL. But I'm guessing that she doesn't; which means you have bad sleeping habits and act like a little bitch, so YDI.

Get some sleeping pills, maybe that will help.

The trouble with sleeping pills is the way they work is by almost knocking you out, not aiding you to get the required amount of sleep and making wake up feeling worse than you would have with a sleepless night. Any positive effects you feel from them are merely a placebo.

Freylero, have you ever taken a sleeping pill? There are a hundred different kinds and that's not how any of them work. What you described IS how alcohol works, though.

I have, and I know very well how they work.
