Today, I was exhausted due to staying up all night practicing for the most important performance of my orchestral career. I decided to take a nap to energize myself in preparation of the evening and woke up just in time to realize I'd missed the entire concert. FML

Haha, yeah. I did set an alarm, but I was so exhausted I slept right through it and my clock turns itself off after about 20 minutes. I'm also studying for finals so it's just been a very awful stressful time period. To all of you guys saying YDI, you're totally right. I spread myself too thin and didn't adequately prepare, so it was all my fault. Luckily it was a small ensemble performance, and 2nd chair took my place, rather than a big solo, so it wasn't the end of the world that I missed it, but it was a big opportunity to exhibit my talent. There will be more to come though, and I will make sure not to be sleep deprived! Also to all y'all saying "sorry for your neighbors", luckily my school's music building has very nifty sound proof practice rooms which I spend a lot of Time in. Thank you all for your support and I'm mad excited this got published. To anybody else who also just suffered through/is taking finals, may luck be on your side!

Even though this is an FML, set an alarm clock next time!

Always set multiple, very loud, alarm clocks if you need to have a nap before something important like that!

Ydi because even if you set alarms and slept through, you should have known you're that heavy a sleeper, and because I feel sorry for your neighbours... Practicing all night is cruel!

Should have been like all us normal people who set an alarm every 5mins for an hour before you want to wake up! Haha

Dang OP. Sometimes it's good not to overdo anything, sorry you missed your performance though. :|

I agree that this sucks, but the only way I see it is that YDI, you should've prepared better and set an alarm/lots of alarms, or even practiced less. I hate that you missed it and that honestly is FML worthy, but you still deserve it.

YDI for not being aware of a little invention called an alarm clock. Asking sympathy for such a common sense thing is mind boggling. You really have no excuse and no one to blame but yourself.

That sucks OP! Being a violinist myself, I can imagine the terror of missing a performance. However, since I can never trust myself with naps, I always make sure to have a reliable alarm clock to wake me up. :]

You seemed to have failed to plan for something so important. Staying up all night and relying on just a nap to refresh you was a bad idea anyway, but not setting up a foolproof way to make sure you didn't oversleep was careless. I feel for you, but YDI.

Sorry but this is on you op. If you have something important always make sure you get a good nights seep the night before. And your poor neighbours, having to put up with your practicing all night :(
