Today, I woke up at 5 and studied for my 9:30am exam for 4 hours. When I left my dorm at 9, it was dark outside. Turns out I slept through the entire day and woke up at 5pm. FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I had to get to class at 9:00 to take a test. I woke up at 6:00, and figured I could wait a few minutes before getting ready. The next thing I knew, it was 10:30. FML
Today, I stayed up all night to study for my anatomy final at 9 a.m. I studied outside the testing room in the hall all night. Apparently, I fell asleep with my headphones on, as my friend woke me up after walking out of the test, asking how I did. 300 classmates walked by and no one woke me up. FML
Today, I pulled an all-nighter to finish rereading my set work for my English exam. I managed to finish earlier than expected and decided to get some sleep. I then promptly slept through my alarm and missed my exam. FML
Today, I studied all night for a big test. I ended up falling asleep on the bus ride there. I woke up in a different province. FML
Today, I had a Biochemistry exam. I studied all night but took a nap to get some rest because my exam was in the morning. I woke up at 10, feeling very confident. My exam was at 9. FML
Today, I had an important test at 7 in the morning, so I sat the alarm at 6 o'clock and fell asleep. Later I was woken up by a call from my friend asking me why I didn't show up for the test. It was 9:30. I'd sat the alarm at 6:00 PM. FML
Today, I got up and walked to college for my only class which started at 9 a.m. after a night of restless sleep. Our exam is two weeks away, so I thought it would be better to attend. Apparently, my teacher thought differently. FML
Today, I decided to sleep in for 5 extra minutes. Those 5 extra minutes became 55 minutes, which, coincidentally, was roughly the length of the midterm I missed. FML
Today, I woke up to go to school. I was unbelievably tired, but I gathered the courage to go take my shower. I then took a long shower, cleaned up my room, got dressed, and ate breakfast. Going back to my room, I looked at the clock, which read 3:22 AM. FML
Today, I came into work late, tried to sneak in, but got caught by my supervisor. Usually I wake up at 7am, hit the road around 7.30, arrive at work before 8am. Today I woke up at 5am, thought that I could go back to sleep for 2 hours, I went back to bed. When I woke up, it was already 9am. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I can relate. I've slept through a class I had a really important presentation in because my alarm had been set for pm. Yeah, my fault, but I think this is a valid FML.

well i woke up late and missed my final in college...it was a Spanish class and luckily my teacher let me make it up in her other Spanish class she was giving finals to....but she made my exam way harder...and it bumped me a grade down... :( It happens..i haven't experienced the 12 hour delay though b/c i make sure to set my alarm after 8 pm so it doesn't ring at 8 pm that night instead of 8 am the next morning...

This is what happens when you have no window and don't feel like venturing outside. Why? Because most people choose not to venture outside when they think that it is early morning.

Oh, and about the AM/PM thing- ok, this may be hard to handle, but some people use traditional ANALOG clocks. I know, I know that's a hard concept to wrap your mind around, but it's true. If you don't know what analog is, then look it up, you idiot. Last time I checked, the majority of analog clocks do not say AM or PM, unless they're fancy ones that most college students either can't afford or care not to spend the money on.

You should learn how to use a clock and an alarm

In winter it's very easy to do. I have done it several times.

Okay, I understand making the initial mistake. But you slept for 12 hours longer than you expected to? Were you drunk? Holy shit, I've slept for long periods of time, but I think I can notice if I slept 12 more hours than expected.

If you can't tell the difference between 5am and 5pm, you probably wouldn't have done too well on the exam anyway...

I so feel your pain. Just last week I was an hour and a half late for work. Apparently, my boyfriend woke me up and I was conscious and verbally communicative at 10 AM, though I don't remember this happening. But I either wasn't actually ever awake or fell back asleep before my memory kicked in, and I ended up sleeping in until 5 PM, and I had to be at work at 4. I was woken up by my manager calling me. It took me a half hour to actually get going and get to work in a super-rush. It hadn't happened to me in a while and it was a scary reminder that I can never be really certain of when I'll wake up--I'm right with #78. D:
