Today, I woke up to the realization that the 2-hour nap I wanted to take before I went out with my friends last night was actually a 12-hour nap. I missed everything. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I took a quick nap before going out with friends. I set an alarm for 30 minutes. When I woke up, I thought it had been a few minutes, so I jumped up, got my coat, and ran out the door. Turns out, my nap lasted 5 hours, and I missed the entire night out. My friends are still sending me pictures of them having fun. FML
Today, I realised just how badly I procrastinate because I wanted to take a nap before going out for a friend's birthday, but I kept putting it off until I simply didn't have the time. FML
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, I went to the airport a full three hours before my flight departure time just to be on the safe side. I ended up having the best nap of my life and missing my flight. FML
Today, I woke up after taking the new sleeping pills I was prescribed for my insomnia. I slept for 12 hours and had 5 missed calls from my boss. FML
Today, I set aside some time to take a power nap at my desk. I set an alarm, but it didn't go off. I woke up hours later to find my coworkers had surrounded my desk, taking bets on when I'd wake up. FML
Today, after countless nights of no sleep and only some spontaneous naps, I was finally seeing a sleeping doctor to analyze the problem. I missed the appointment because I ended up sleeping through my alarm after not being able to sleep at all last night. 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 took a nap on my couch. I woke up three hours later to my neighbor knocking on my door, asking if I was OK because looking from the outside in, they thought I was dead. Guess I sleep like I’ve been hit by a truck. FML
Today, I went to bed early, feeling responsible. At 2 a.m., I woke up in a panic because I forgot to set my alarm. While fixing it, I actually turned it off completely. I overslept, missed work, and proved once again that I should never trust myself. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

nap fail. Hardly an FML.

"Why bother using an alarm clock when you're just taking a nap?" Because you could end up sleeping for 12 hours.

Been there. I wouldn't say it's a true FML, but it does suck.

I'm surprised none of your so-called "friends" came to check on you to see if you were alive, or if you were boning one of their wives/girlfriends, or if you'd come out with them just in time to pick up the tab.

being your friend must be so rewarding, plexi :p

No, palleas, I think it involves performing sex acts like blumpkins. . . Not rewarding.

Especially about a day after I eat some really cheap Mexican food. It's fun going in, but. . . You're a real trooper, Toxi, I have the utmost respect for your ability to finish the "job" in such an odoriferous environment? Good on ya!

I just hold my nose, it's fine. But you know, what's good for the goose is good for the gander (that's the right saying isn't it?)... I'm going to share that Mexican food and we'll make up a new Urbandictionary term.

meh I'm sure it's not the LAST NIGHT OF YOUR LIFE. You'll see your friends another day anyway. This isn't a fml, it's a minor inconvenience.

And OP probably needed the sleep anyways.

Obviously you needed the sleep. And I'm sure you'll have lots of opportunities to get together with your friends again. By next weekend this will be a "no big deal".

this is dumb. ohhh my god i didnt go out with my firends on a friday night! im sucha loser cause i slept. get a life. u were tired. u obivously didnt care enough to set an alarm. so you were obviously reaaaaly tired, if you slept straight without waking up for 12 hours. cause nobody passes out cold just like that for a light nap. if your super tired, and going to nap, obviously set an alarm or u wont wake up.
