Today, I bought an eye mask to help me sleep during the day, as I work night shifts. Upon waking up after my first time using it, I forgot I was wearing it and thought I had gone blind, causing me to fall out of the bed and split my head open on my bedside table. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I got into the shower with my glasses on by mistake. I spent 5 minutes convinced that the fog in my vision was me going blind. FML
Today, while I was sleeping, I managed to knock down the curtains by my bed. That would explain the gash on my head and blood on my bed. FML
Today, I woke up thinking after wearing glasses and contacts all my life that I had miraculously been corrected to 20/20. Turns out I had just fallen asleep with my contacts in. 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, while taking pills for a headache, I threw my head back to help get the pills down, and in the process, whacked it against the brick windowsill behind me. FML
Today, after a long day at work, I was ready to wind down for the night. I sat on my bed and turned towards a fluttering on my left. I saw the biggest daddy-longlegs inches from my face, jumped in the other direction, forgetting there was a wall, and hit my head on it. I'm now officially wide awake. FML
Today, I got home after a long day and collapsed onto my bed… forgetting I'd left my laptop open on it. Now I have an expensive, broken pillow. FML
Today, I woke up, and I could see perfectly. Somehow, during the night, my eyes magically became 20/20. I was overjoyed, until I realized I'd fallen asleep with my glasses on. My eyes are still trash, and I want to cry. FML
Today, I woke up with a hangover and a pounding headache and tried to take an ibuprofen with a glass of water. I missed my mouth and threw the pill directly into my eye. FML
Today, in the middle of the night, I got up to go get some water. When I came back, I was going to flop onto my bed, but I faceplanted into my floor. I'd forgotten that I'd rearranged my room and moved my bed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I know that sounds really bad, but hey at least you aren't really blind!

When I wake up blind, I generally rub my eyes before I jump out of bed all panicked. It usually solves the problem.

I use these things and never think I've gone blind. Maybe because you can't even open your eyes until you remove it? Your eyelids don't spontaneously glue themselves shut when you're blind..

I thought blind people see whiteish not dark but i guess we really don't know unless you ask a blink person who once had sight.

Hey!! I did that too! 'Cept I never split my head open, that is just unfortunate for you, but maybe next time you are under the impression you have gone blind before a night shift, run your hands over your face to double check and you will feel the eye mask on your face.

Couldn't you feel the mask on your face? First instinct would have been to put your hands up to your eyes... I hate those things cuz I feel it on my face the whole time I'm wearing it.

Agreed! I can never sleep in them. I always end up itching my face and pulling them off. I prefer the blanket over my head approach to block out the light.

Are you a pirate by any chance?

How many pirates do you see with an eye patch over both eyes? Probably would have a hook on both hands too... "Hand me that twist top bottle of beer" "Arrrggh. I can't open it. 99 bottles to go"

Hopefully now you have some days off work, so you can sleep at night!

Being waken up during deep sleep sucks, doesn't it?
