Today, my insomnia started back up again. It was too late to get something to help me sleep so I was lying there wondering what I should do. I decided to listen to some ambient music. It helped a lot, but when I was about to fall asleep, my parents decided to start doing 'it'. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was lying in bed, trying to sleep, when I heard my parents having sex, so I put on my headphones. After listening to music for a good long while, I figured they were done by now, so I took off the headphones just in time to hear them finish. FML
Today, to help with my insomnia, I downloaded some relaxing rain MP3s and set them to loop. For the first time in ages, I fell asleep within minutes. Somewhere around 5, however, the sound of trickling water caused my bladder to empty itself all over my bed. FML
Today, I woke up early. As I was just about to fall back asleep, I was re-awoken to the sound of my parents doing it in the shower. FML
Today, yet again, I woke up at the sound of my parents having sex like apes, and couldn't get back to sleep. FML
Today, my parents woke me up in the middle of the night when they got in a huge argument and started yelling at each other. I was up all night. They decided to make it up to each other. They kept me up all night again. FML
Today, I asked my family not to disturb me while I slept, as I had hit over 72 hours of insomnia. My family must have heard me say, “Come in every 20 minutes and wake me up with whatever banal shit you can think of.” I gave up when my mother-in-law decided to enter my room and start vacuuming the floor. FML
Today, because my room was cold as ice, I couldn't sleep in there, so I went to my living room. It was at that moment that I realized just how bad my tinnitus is when I don't have my fan or any other form of constant noise to drown it out. I couldn't stop focusing on it, so I remained awake all night. FML
Today, after a week of insomnia, I finally managed to fall asleep. Thirty minutes later, my friends decided to bang on my door, yelling at me to wake up and party with them. I'm now wide awake and hallucinating from lack of sleep. FML
Today, I have a cold, and was stuck sleeping in bed. My roommate decided to wake me up by sticking headphones in my ears and playing heavy metal on full volume. This is the third time this week. FML
Today, I woke up at 1:39 a.m. to my dad's phone going off, only to hear my parents having sex. It's now 2:12 a.m. and I can still hear them going at it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I actually feel sorry for you, unlike the girl with insomnia who complained about the firetrucks. That really does suck. I've been there. Noise-cancelling headphones and white noise players can help. I would've taken something regardless though. Unless it's 5AM. To everyone who's going to say "Shame on you for thinking your parents don't have sex!" Or whatnot, how would you feel if you woke up in the middle of the night to your mom screaming? It's a little TMI.

this makes me thankful for having divorced parents since second grade

Sorry to interfere, but I would rather be embarassed a lot of the time than to know my parents are broken hearted and I don't have them both live with me. It is said to hear so many (teens, I guess) on this site happy with their parents being single, while those people might deeply crave the fulfillment of a relationship.

They didn't say their parents were single. They could generally mean that they would be more embarrassed had they heard both their parents having sex than maybe just one. I certainly would be more embarrassed if it were both my parents than just one with a stepmum or girlfriend/stepdad or boyfriend etc. etc. And divorce does NOT always equal a broken heart, to many marriage does.

If their room is close enough to yours that you can hear them having sex (unless they're really loud), they should have been able to hear the music from yours and at least wonder if you were awake before they started. Either way FYL, the next morning can't have been much fun.

Um. The OP was probably listening to music with headphones?

First off, OP, I can just imagine your reaction when you had this moment: "EWW, EWW, EWW, EWW, EWW, EWW!!!!!" Secondly, wow, that sucks. FYL.

No one wants to know thier parents have sex. Still you are born so it's not like you didn't know they did.

What's insomnia
redbluegreen 41
Insomnia is the inability to obtain an adequate amount or quality of sleep. The difficulty can be in falling asleep, remaining asleep, or both. People with insomnia do not feel refreshed when they wake up. Insomnia is a common symptom affecting millions of people that may be caused by many conditions, diseases, or circumstances.

I actually feel like I wrote this but I didn't is it totally selfish if I said I actually feel better that other people have heard their parents having sex because I hear it rather frequently, and it doesn't get less and less disturbing every time
