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

Today, I woke up in the hallway. I took a sleeping pill the night before to get a good sleep in for work, but it turns out it was too strong. I got dizzy and passed out on my way to my bed, fell in the hall and chipped my two front teeth, and slept there - straight through work the next day. FML

Today, I found out I sleepwalk. How you might ask? By awakening the moment just before I fell from the stairs. I was better off sleeping. FML

Today, I woke up after taking the new sleeping pills I was prescribed for my insomnia. I slept for 12 hours and had 5 missed calls from my boss. FML

Today, I was really, REALLY tired at work. I went to the restroom to take a little break, and must have dozed off, because I was awoken by my boss, knocking on the door of the stall. Apparently, I had been snoring. FML

Today, I stood up too quickly and got dizzy, so I sat on the edge of the bed to regain my balance. I started dozing off to sleep again, got confused, and peed down the side of my bed thinking I was on the toilet. FML

Today, I learned that Nyquil has such an amazing effect on me, that it won't even allow me to wake up to go to the bathroom. FML

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

Ambien nights

By Sleepless Dreams - 29/11/2016 04:42 - Canada - Toronto

Today, my roommates told me about all the stupid and embarrassing things I did last night, none of which I remember. Drunk out of my mind? No, I just tried a new sleeping pill after weeks of insomnia. I still barely slept. FML

Today, I took a nap because I've been sick for the past week and I was exhausted. When I woke up, my hair, shirt, pillow, and bedsheets were soaked. I threw up all over myself in my sleep. FML

Today, I woke up in the shower at my coworker's house, with my clothes on and soaking wet. Apparently, the night before I drank too much and punched my best friend. The sad part is, I passed out on the couch, but somehow ended up in the shower, facing the wrong way. FML

Good lord! Count your blessings that you didn't take a lethal dose of something. I'd see someone right away if I was you.

One no-call no-show at work, and you're fired? Sure there wasn't anything else that led up to that, and this was just their excuse to finally drop you?

ODing on Nyquil is bad, but at least it wasn't something more toxic.

i don't know, i don't usually call fake on these, but this one seems a little suspicious. i mean, getting fired after only one unexcused no show? if that were to happen, you must have been a shitty employee in the first place. YDI.

Really? What kind of jobs have you had? Every place I've ever worked, a no call no show was cause for immediate termination.

I agree FML but unless you were actually an asshole at your job and that one missed day got you fired because that was their chance to finally drop you, I call fake.

Nah I don't say fake. If you don't show up and don't call to explain why there's bound to be consequences meaning being fired. My boyfriend sort of sleep walks mostly sleep talk it's pretty funny but sleep walking must suck sometimes

Yeah that suck, but it can totally happen, I have turned off my alarm clock sleep walking, I have shutdown my computer, I have even turned off my stereo before. Sleep walking is more a state of unconscious awareness than sleep, that is usually followed by amnesia from the event and this case some nasty surprises.

I don't get it. how come every fml that makes someone late for work, the op says that they got fired because of it. does everyone on the planet get fired for being late to work one day?
