Today, I'm a college student. Just like every other goddamn day, my roommate set about twenty alarms a good two hours before she even needs to get up. She just sleeps through the first hour or so of alarms while I wake up. I've been waking up at 6 a.m., even though my first classes are at 9. FML.

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, like every other day, my roommate's alarm began to go off at 7:30am. What time does she have to wake up? 10:00am. Why does she have her alarm go off for two and a half hours? Because last semester she needed it to go off then and she is too lazy to change it. FML
Today, my roommate set her extremely loud alarm clock for 5am and continued to hit the snooze button every ten minutes until 7:30. FML
Today, like every day, I woke up at 3 in the morning because my roommate needs "a three hour warning" before his real alarm goes off. His alarm is a constant beeping noise which he always ignores for a good 10 minutes before finally getting up and turning it off. FML
Today, my roommate's extremely loud and obnoxious alarm went off six times, waking me up each time, before she finally gave up on hitting the snooze button and went back to sleep for good. FML
Today, just like every other day, I was woken up 2 hours earlier than I needed to be, by the alarm belonging to my upstairs neighbors. They won't wake up until their real alarm goes off: me, pounding the walls and yelling in frustration. FML
Today, my roommate gets up at 3:30am for work and wakes me up each time. I try not to complain about it, but whenever I come back to the apartment at midnight, she gets mad that I woke her up. I told her that she wakes me up in the morning, but apparently that’s different because she’s going to work. 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 woke up to the sound of my roommate's alarm clock going off at 6:00 in the morning. His bedroom door was locked, and he was passed out in his bed from drinking too much. It rang continuously for five and a half hours before it finally ran out of batteries. FML
Today, I'm dead on my feet. My flatmate's alarm went off for 20 minutes at 5 a.m., which I heard and he didn't. A car alarm went off outside my window for half an hour at 7 a.m. My building fire alarm went off twice, at 8 and 8:10 a.m. Just let me sleep. FML
Today, I didn't get to sleep until 5 a.m., as I stayed up to finish off a big project that I have been working on for the past week. I was then woken up at 6 a.m. by my daughter saying she was ready for school. School starts at 9 a.m., and is a 2-minute drive away. I'm now at work, living off an hour of sleep and coffee. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Have you thought about talking to your roommate? Maybe she'll understand if you ask her to set fewer alarms!

Ear plugs may help, they helped me when a school decided to get built under my window

Use one of those hours to go to the gym.

Why would you put up with this? Tell your roommate straight up this is bs.

I feel you OP. My roommate did that last year. Hers would go off every 5 minutes for about 2 hours. I eventually video taped it and showed the RA.

If talking to your roommate doesn't work then I suggest buying earmuffs. Hope I helped you!

Why don't you just make sure they are up before you leave? Like have them set 4 alarms an hour before they have class and just make sure they are up

I do the same thing though it only 30 minutes before I need to get up. If they are doing it because they don't hear it or are used to it tell them to change it. it is new and will wake them up

Hide their phone somewhere in their room each night. Sure it'll be annoying for you, but also (and more importantly) fun

Talk to your roommate, get some ear plugs. Buy your roommate one of those alarms that bounces around and forces you to chase after it. Or change the time on I your roommate's alarms.
