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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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
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 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 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
Today, I woke up at 7, got to college by 7:40 to receive an email that my 8:00 a.m. class got cancelled. I stayed there until 12:00 p.m. for my second class, to then find out that the cancelled class was the one at 12:00, not 8:00. FML
Today, I thought I'd been really clever by setting my alarm ten minutes earlier to get up on time. I did wake up ten minutes earlier… then promptly fell back asleep for another hour. 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
Today, I fully intended to start going to the gym so I set my alarm an hour early so I could go before work and get it over with. Alas, when the alarm went off and I saw that horrible "5 a.m." on my phone, my brain put me straight back to sleep without my consent. I ended up being late for work. FML
Today, on the way to an exam, I got hit by a car. I got back up and limped to class. The teacher wouldn’t let me in because I was 10 seconds late. FML

Captain procrastination over here.
mcBe 6
Every time I hit that freakin button I know I'll screw up and sleep to long but that's Way after it happens, I look at that snooze button and say "hey sexy I'd tap that" and then smack it and fall back to sleep

"...The next thing I knew..." clearly you didn't know very much. If you're going to stay in bed, set a new alarm! It's a lot less annoying than repeating a 5-10 minute snooze.
tjv3 10
If OP is like me I can hit the snooze button once then sleep through the alarm for the next hr lol
OHai15 12
u should have pushed the snooze button or made another alarm. It works for me. hope u got to re-do the test. :O
TourettesGuyFTW 26
Who the **** is captain procrastination? And why is he always messing with ME!!
Carmstro 13
I'll give it to OP that she could be like me. I often accidentally press dismiss instead of snooze on my alarm. It's horrible :(
fuzz97 23
I know that feel. I lost a job that way
lilhellian 27
And after all that begging to..

quontag 15
Maybe if you cared...
KrazieKleo 13

63- Ya cuz, you know, most people with healthy and regular sleep schedules totally wake up at 2 in the afternoon. Psshh.
CharresBarkrey 16
79 - I wake up at 2pm everyday. I work graveyard shift, don't be so quick to judge, assface.
CrissyyyS2 22
79-people can have night classes too. So the time of day would be switched around.
KrazieKleo 13
79- I work graveyard and have night classes from 3:30-9:30. So actually it's pretty normal for me... I forgive your ignorance.
scarface90 8
95 - me too, I have night classes from 5:00 to 9:30pm and can only study at night when the house is quiet, I wake up normally at 3:00pm My friends call it "the vampire lifestyle"...
KrazieKleo 13
101- haha I hear ya. I don't even have a social life due to school and graveyard shifts.... Yay vampire life haha

Happens to all of us. Hopefully your proffesor will understand and give you a make up

Even in high school if you don't show up for a test and you don't have a doctors note they don't let you write it.
SaintPeasy 3
At this time of year, I bet that was a Final. He's screwed.
JBChristian 47
Now don't be saying "All of us" only the lazy, and city slickers.
lilhellian 27
Not all high school teachers are like that..
fylx100 19
I agree #29. At my school we are not allowed to make up any tests if the absence is not excused. But no teacher give a shit about that rule and let us make it up before or after school. And if you're lucky, during class :-)

onlychildFTW 34
At post secondary school. I know at mine at least only a doctors note or death of close family member is an excuse. "OVER SLEEPING IS NOT A VALID EXCUSE TO MISS A TEST/EXAM." That's a quote.

Did you hit your snooze button 14 times?
MrSassypants 34
He would have to hit it 54 times for it to be from 6:00-10:30. How much do you have to hate yourself for you to cause yourself that much annoyance?
ihaveFMLfeverr 5
Did you seriously just do math?
Mauskau 36
My snooze on my iPod increases by a few minutes each time. So after a few it will wait about half an hour, which is really irritating.
MrSassypants 34
39, yeah I seem to do that a lot.... I think I have an addiction. D:
white16sox 19
21, because there is no way this was a reference to a previous FML right?
MrSassypants 34
43 I know that, and I was simply saying that OP had to press it 54 times. I counted.
mowmowlife 21
Thumbed up your math. Math is good. References to other FMLs posted this day are better
unknown_user5566 27
That used to happen to me quite often. After a while I realized I couldn't be trusted to close my eyes for "just five more minutes", and I started setting multiple alarms in ten minute intervals.
PrimeEvilTahir 24
Ah I do the same! Every time before I sleep I setup my iphone with 4 alarms all in 15 minutes interval. 1st one to take me out of deep sleep. 2nd to wake me up. 3rd to wake me up again lol. 4th one is a warning one that now I should either call out or should be getting ready to leave.
Bekll 31
Same. I set my alarm and do five to 10 minute interval alarms on my phone.
KVKdragon 26
I just use the iHome+Sleep app on my iPad and use my dedicated wake-up songs playlist to wake up every morning. My mind gets too accustomed to repetitive alarm clock sounds, so I use a select bunch of songs on shuffle to wake up every morning. The app also lets you customize how the snooze button works, so I just set the alarm 10 minutes before I need to get up and the snooze timer on 10 minutes :P
sonuskos 6
I do what all of you do, except i have to leave it like super far away. If its even close to arms reach, or if ican roll over and somehow grab it, i wont realize that i apparently got up and snoozed it.
happle 21
I do pretty much the same thing. I set a really annoying song as the alarm and toss my phone across the room so I HAVE to get up.
sniken 14
Alarm clock extreme free. customize it anyway you'll like and be certain you wake up. I have to get up for work at 5 am sometimes - that alarm has max one snooze and then 10 math questions I gotta solve before I can turn it off..
Carmstro 13
68, I do the same. Only problem is I turn it off and just walk straight to bed!
iedsrduan 18
I do the same daily for school. I wake up at 5 a.m. and leave at 6:30, so I set an alarm every five minutes from 5 a.m. until 6:30 on my iPod. and a single alarm on my phone.
BlueFlatts 20
I tend to use my iPod for my alarm clock, one day I woke up late for class because my cat was sleeping on it and the sound got muffled. Luckily I didn't miss anything too important, but it was amusing, even then. Time to get a better wake-up system going.
MrsPegg 45
Maybe, just maybe, you can talk to your professor and figure something out so you don't get a zero? It may be a long shot, but it doesn't hurt to try.
kmccain 27
Obviously you're not in college. Professors don't just let you make up a test because you overslept. You would have to either had an escuse from the college or have a doctor's note.
ElmoSaysSquishy 28
44 OP may not be in college either.
MrsPegg 45
44: you're right, I'm not in college because I graduated from college in May. From MY personal experiences, people make mistakes and sometimes professors can help you IF you ASK. In my nursing school, if you missed an exam, you don't get to take the exact test, but an essay style test worth 70 points. That way, you don't get an unfair advantage or a zero. So, sticking to the point, it NEVER hurts to ask because you never know what good could come from it.
kmccain 27
Well then I'm sorry. But when I missed an exam I was SOL when it came to a make up. I talked to the professor even, and he refused to do anything about it because it was against university policy and it wouldn't have been fair to the students that actually showed up.

Hate when that happens
Futacy 30
Sadly, it doesn't work that way :( Edit: Damn, I responded to the wrong comment... just keep scrolling
I_iz_B_a_troll 24
I accidentally set my alarm for PM on the day of my exam, had I not had my usual alarm set up an hour later I would have completely missed it. We all have those stupid moments, hopefully you won't fail because of it!
lolkaela 6
Just lie and say you got too sick to take the test or something
Futacy 30
Sadly, it doesn't work that way.
j_cat187 20
Right I say eat a bunch of Taco Bell and twinkles so you can actually be too sick to take the final.
happle 21
I want to eat a twinkle. :o But seriously. Lying is bad. :(
OldMemoriesFade 8
That's the worst, next time hit snooze, or set another alarm 30 minutes later? My iPhone alarm likes to not go off. It's so annoying.
