Today, I heard my alarm go off, dragged myself out of bed, had breakfast and got ready for work. As I was heading out the door I checked the time again. It was 1:41 AM. Apparently my alarm never actually went off. FML

Today, my alarm went off. I snoozed it, and went on to dream that I got out of bed, did my business, brushed my teeth, took my breakfast, changed into my working attire, and was ready for work that morning. My alarm rang a second time, I had to do all that over again. FML

Today, I woke up and saw that my alarm clock had fallen on the floor. It read 9:05 am. I panicked because I was late for work. As I frantically got ready, I went to pick my alarm clock up to place it back on my nightstand when I realized it was upside down. The actual time was 5:06. FML

Today, I was woken up from a phone call from my boss. He asked if I had been asleep. I told him I wasn't, that I was in my car on the way to work. Then my alarm went off. FML

Today, I was late to school for the third time this week because my alarm clock didn't go off. I clearly remembered setting it, so I videotaped myself sleeping. It turns out I've been turning off my alarm clock in my sleep. FML

Today, I set an alarm to wake up for a football match. I woke up after it finished. Turns out, I set my alarm to 12:15 p.m. instead of a.m. I ended up missing one of my team's best performances. FML

Today, I set 3 alarms so I wouldn't miss an early morning event I was volunteering at. After I slept through the first one, my roommate turned the other two off without waking me up because they were annoying. I missed the event. FML

Today, I set my alarm for AM instead of PM. Woke up at 5AM to realize I have nothing to do. FML

Today, I got ready for work half-asleep, grabbed my coffee, and walked out the door. It wasn’t until I was in the elevator that I realized I was also holding the TV remote instead of my phone. FML

Today, I woke up to go to school. I was unbelievably tired, but I gathered the courage to go take my shower. I then took a long shower, cleaned up my room, got dressed, and ate breakfast. Going back to my room, I looked at the clock, which read 3:22 AM. FML

Today, I had an interview for my dream job. I spent all of last night preparing, researching the company, and making sure everything was perfect. My interview was for 8am. I woke up at 10:30 to an alarm that had not gone off. FML

This FML reminds me of when I took a nap, woke up and thought was 7:00 in the morning. After 10 minutes of bothering my family, they finally told me it was 7:00 P.M. and I hap been asleep for only 2 hours. I felt like such an idiot D:

I'm anticipating a follow up FML. "Today, after waking up too early for work thinking I heard my alarm, I took advice from FML commenters and went back to bed only to sleep through my alarm. I'm now late for work. FML."

During the summer I woke up one morning and I was convinced it was Christmas. I even ran in to the living room to see the tree and the presents. Ah, good times, good times.

Who actually gets up at the first alarm anyway? Ok, don't answer that... I snooze it for at least 45 minutes... Never have I set the alarm for when I actually have to be OUT of bed. That is crazy talk!

Reminds me of what happened to my roommate and I during our first year. I swear someone crept into our room and set the clocks one hour ahead. I got up and went to school, only to find the classroom empty. I thought I was losing it, so I checked the schedule posted outside. It did not make sense, so I went to an office and asked the lady where the classroom was. She said no classroom existed - I guess I read the so called schedule wrong. I then called my mother up to ask what on earth the time was, and then it dawned on me that our clocks were an hour ahead of time --; So not cool.
