Today, at the age of 20, I still have a bed time. It is strictly enforced by my cat via endless meows if I am up past 11 pm. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I'm a 22 year-old guy with a 11:00 pm curfew. FML
Today, our cat doesn’t care much whether she gets into my room or not. Except at about 3 a.m. each night. That’s the time she sits outside the door, meowing to be let in. FML
Today, between my cats scratching every surface they can find, my boyfriend's snoring, and the dog barking at every slight noise outside, I'm unlikely to ever get more than 3 hours of sleep at a time. FML
Today, my incredibly needy rescue cat - who knows she doesn't get to go into my bedroom at night - decided that she needed to wail and scratch the bedroom door from midnight until 5 a.m. Now that I'm awake, she's ignoring me because she knows I'm mad at her. FML
Today, it’s the fifth day in a row that my mom has vacuumed right outside my room, from 5 to 11 AM. Despite this, I still can’t fall asleep before midnight. FML
Today, as every day for the past three weeks, my girlfriend's cat kept us up from 3:30am crying nonstop. We've tried everything, and even exiled my well-behaved cat to keep him company. Now she cries because she feels she's being punished. Starting around 4am. FML
Today, I discovered that my family routinely waits until after my bedtime to order a pepperoni pizza, my favorite food. If that wasn't bad enough, I'm 17 and still have a strictly enforced bedtime. FML
Today, my 21-year-old cat, who has learned when I go to bed and waits in my bedroom for me every night, was waiting for me as usual last night. She got on top of me and I fell asleep pretty fast. When I woke up, she was still there, so I decided to wait until she moved. It took me an hour to realize she'd died. FML
Today, after months of believing my house is haunted, and years of being scared of the dark, I finally had to admit to myself that the only way I can go to the bathroom in the middle of the night is if my cat follows me and sits outside the door. I'm 23. FML
Today, I'm on my 20th consecutive night without decent sleep, ever since circumstances forced me to move back to my parents' bungalow, and my dad's thunderous snoring keeping me awake. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

My cat has decided that I shall not be up past midnight. If I am not in bed by then, she runs around my apartment like a furry ballistic missile for about an hour.

I'm not referring to the cat in my picture, by the way. She passed away a couple years ago :(

You're lucky, my 10 month old kitten is afraid of the dark. I have 2 options at sunset take him to bed or turn on every light in the house. otherwise he has a panic attack (hyperventilating & puking) FML He was orphaned before his eyes opened & our city shelter has the lights on 24/7, so he never knew darkness till I adopted him... My vet figured it out. ($500 Later)

Start a new habit of putting the cat outside before you go to bed. Pretty soon the cat will stop reminding you it's bed time :)

Ah yes, good idea - put the cat outside where it can tear up other people's yards, kill local animals and other people's pets, get run over, or captured and tortured to death by the local serial-killers-in-training. Or you could be a responsible pet owner and *not* let your cat outside without supervision and a leash.
