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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I set my alarm to wake up early for work. It turns out I set it for PM instead of AM. I woke up to my boss calling me, asking if I was still alive. FML
Today, I went to bed early, feeling responsible. At 2 a.m., I woke up in a panic because I forgot to set my alarm. While fixing it, I actually turned it off completely. I overslept, missed work, and proved once again that I should never trust myself. 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 fully intended to start going to the gym so I set my alarm an hour early so I could go before work and get it over with. Alas, when the alarm went off and I saw that horrible "5 a.m." on my phone, my brain put me straight back to sleep without my consent. I ended up being late for work. 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 set an alarm labeled "DO NOT BE LATE." When it went off, I turned it off, congratulated myself for being responsible, and promptly went back to sleep. I woke up two hours later. 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, my alarm went off, and in my half-asleep state, I grabbed my phone and snoozed it. When I woke up an hour later, I realized I'd actually snoozed my work email notification for the same amount of time, and my boss was emailing me every five minutes, asking where I was. 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 bought a new alarm clock because I kept sleeping through my phone alarms. The first morning, it went off exactly when planned. I promptly turned it off, went back to sleep for “5 minutes,” and woke up 3 hours later. The clock had been set correctly. I had just gone straight back to sleep. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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!

You give yourself LESS sleep by doing that.

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.
