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

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.

Lame, OP. If going out with your friends ONCE is such a huge blow to your social life, you've got bigger problems than your sleeping habits. Stop whining and get over it.

ok. maybe the OP should have set an alarm. maybe they did and slept through it? who knows? who cares. obviously if the OP wanted to take a nap so they wouldnt be tired, they were looking forward to the night out. and just so everyone realizes, i am a single mother and RARELY(like, ive been out 1 in the last year with friends)go out. so a night out would be a big deal and if i missed it i would be pretty upset. instead of looking into EVERY little detail, cant we just agree that it sucks that the OP(or anyone) would miss a night out that they had been planning? geez. OP FYL

HAHAHAHA I have done this. It can suck pretty bad or be not that big a deal, but I think it is a funny story when it does happen especially when your friends wont believe you or something. so thanks for sharing

it just means you were really tired. It happens from time to time.

how is this an fml? so you slept instead of a night out, there's always the day after or weekend after. this should be on MLIA

Oh maaan, this is such an FML! It happened to me once... you go for a nap, stupidly forget your alarm and wake up at 3am when the party's over... And then you slept so much that you are awake for the rest of the night. :)
