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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I woke up in a complete daze. It took me a few minutes to realize what had happened. Apparently my sleepwalking problems have returned, only this time I managed to overdose myself with Nyquil. As a result, I slept for fourteen hours, wet my sheets, and lost my job. FML
Today, after a trip to the emergency room for severe stomach pain and almost passing out in the shower, I slipped on the wet bathroom floor and broke my two front teeth. 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, I was really, REALLY tired at work. I went to the restroom to take a little break, and must have dozed off, because I was awoken by my boss, knocking on the door of the stall. Apparently, I had been snoring. FML
Today, I woke up with a pounding headache. My wife tells me that last night I woke up from a nightmare, screaming, tried to run away, and knocked myself out running headfirst into the bedroom wall. So she put me back to bed and went back to sleep. FML
Today, my alarm went off. I reached to swat it, missed, slipped, smacked my face on my dresser, and fell on the floor. As I picked myself up off the floor, I hit my head on the open top drawer of my other dresser. In 30 seconds of consciousness, I was attacked by two pieces of furniture. FML
Today, I woke up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water. Groggy and disoriented, I bumped into several pieces of furniture and made a lot of noise. My dad woke up, mistook me for a burglar, and knocked me out with his fist. FML
Today, I was staying at my friend's house, which is next door. Our houses are the same layout, only mirrored, so tonight when I got out of bed in the dark, I instinctively turned to my left, thinking I was entering the bathroom, and fell down the stairs. Three of my teeth are missing. FML
Today, I fell asleep on the couch and my boyfriend thought it would be cute to carry me to bed. He knocked my head on the door frame and I pretended it didn't hurt because he felt so bad, but I shouldn't have. I was rushed to the hospital hours later with a concussion. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

WTF. By 'a sleeping pill' do you mean a bottle of sleeping pills?? Even if you took three or four strong ones it wouldn't have that effect.

I actually can attest to this story. Took a nyquil for a cold. 12+ hours later I went to the ER because I was so out of it.

Really? And did that Nyquil kick in in less than 20-30 minutes?

You realize Nyquil takes effect faster than a pill because it's already in a liquid form.

holy shit.. I want some of whatever you took :) not to fall and chip my teeth,but to sleep ALL through the night.

Yep, 20-30 minutes. You literally can not absorb a pill in less than that time

No one said she passed out immediately. She could've waited up awhile for the effects to kick in, and passed out on her way to bed after they already had begun.

Why are people assuming that she took the pill and then immediately passed out? She said she took the pill last night, that's it. She could have taken it, started getting ready for bed, felt dizzy and started heading towards the bed and then passed out. Sure, this could be fake, but think things through before calling fake. OP: This is why you always take sleeping pills on the weekends or on nights where you have nothing to do the next day. Do this at least until you know how the sleeping pills will affect you.

I call fake. Sleeping pills you get at the store aren't strong enough to knock you out like that, especially not with just one. If it was a prescribed sleeping pill the doctor would have started her on the lowest dose possible, and while that could *possibly* have been strong enough to make her sleep in extra hours, I doubt she'd be getting prescribed pills without trying the low-dose store variety first. That being said, if this IS true, YDI OP for not testing it out over the weekend first to see how you would react to it.

Ambien kicks in within 20 minutes and can kick in hard. I don't think this is fake. And if it is, so what? It was still entertaining... Except for the whole chipped tooth thing... Ouch!
