Today, I was woken up at 2 a.m. by my roommates throwing a party down the hall. I put some earplugs in so I could get some rest for my 8 a.m final. They worked really well, so well in fact that I didn't hear my alarm and woke up at noon. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my neighbours had an extremely loud party, which began at midnight and didn't end until 6. I know this because I had a 15 minute sleep, seeing as I had to wake up at quarter past. FML
Today, I fell asleep at a party. I farted so loud that I woke myself up. Everyone heard. FML
Today, after a long night of studying, my roommate and her friends decided it would be fun to throw a mini party in my room at 7am. FML
Today, I set 3 alarms so I wouldn't miss an early morning event I was volunteering at. After I slept through the first one, my roommate turned the other two off without waking me up because they were annoying. I missed the event. 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 stayed up all night to study for my anatomy final at 9 a.m. I studied outside the testing room in the hall all night. Apparently, I fell asleep with my headphones on, as my friend woke me up after walking out of the test, asking how I did. 300 classmates walked by and no one woke me up. FML
Today, it's my roommate's birthday. His friends were planning on a surprise birthday cake at midnight last night, and one of them told me about it, hoping to split the expense between us, which I was totally cool with. But I fell asleep before midnight and they didn't even bother to wake me up. FML
Today, I'm dead on my feet. My flatmate's alarm went off for 20 minutes at 5 a.m., which I heard and he didn't. A car alarm went off outside my window for half an hour at 7 a.m. My building fire alarm went off twice, at 8 and 8:10 a.m. Just let me sleep. FML
Today, I clocked into work completely exhausted despite having gone to bed early. My roommates stayed up until 4am watching a movie, blasting music, and constantly giggling like madwomen. This is their "new and improved" schedule. FML
Today, I woke up to the sound of my roommate's alarm clock going off at 6:00 in the morning. His bedroom door was locked, and he was passed out in his bed from drinking too much. It rang continuously for five and a half hours before it finally ran out of batteries. FML

Is this a habit of theirs? Sticking your phone underneath your pillow so you can feel your phone’s vibrations may help. Or if they do this regularly enough to justify the expense, one of those mattress alarm clocks for deaf people that shake you awake.

I have a 20 € smartwatch that vibrates. Considerate roommates are priceless though.

What do you use as your alarm ? What were those earplugs ? Normal earplugs are designed to only cover a « small » range of noise for security (to hear when someone speaks next to you, an alarm, a car horn, etc.). It diminish ambient noises to help you concentrate or sleep. So you would need either a strange wake up alarm (some kinds of music perhaps ?) or heavy duty earplugs not to ear it. In the 2nd case i want to know the brand, I want some ;) Well maybe you were sooo tired that even without the plugs you wouldn’t have gotten up (sadly it can happen to everyone)

I have professional earplugs made for musicians since I used to roadie for a band, and while they cut a lot of the noise, I can still hear regular conversations and the music. this sounds more like the OP didn't have the cojones to ask them to keep the noise down.
