Today, I heard my alarm go off, dragged myself out of bed, had breakfast and got ready for work. As I was heading out the door I checked the time again. It was 1:41 AM. Apparently my alarm never actually went off. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I set my alarm to wake up early for work. It turns out I set it for PM instead of AM. I woke up to my boss calling me, asking if I was still alive. 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
Today, my alarm went off. I snoozed it, and went on to dream that I got out of bed, did my business, brushed my teeth, took my breakfast, changed into my working attire, and was ready for work that morning. My alarm rang a second time, I had to do all that over again. 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, I woke up and saw that my alarm clock had fallen on the floor. It read 9:05 am. I panicked because I was late for work. As I frantically got ready, I went to pick my alarm clock up to place it back on my nightstand when I realized it was upside down. The actual time was 5:06. FML
Today, I set an alarm labeled "DO NOT BE LATE." When it went off, I turned it off, congratulated myself for being responsible, and promptly went back to sleep. I woke up two hours later. FML
Today, I was woken up from a phone call from my boss. He asked if I had been asleep. I told him I wasn't, that I was in my car on the way to work. Then my alarm went off. FML
Today, my alarm went off, and in my half-asleep state, I grabbed my phone and snoozed it. When I woke up an hour later, I realized I'd actually snoozed my work email notification for the same amount of time, and my boss was emailing me every five minutes, asking where I was. FML
Today, I was late to school for the third time this week because my alarm clock didn't go off. I clearly remembered setting it, so I videotaped myself sleeping. It turns out I've been turning off my alarm clock in my sleep. FML
Today, I bought a new alarm clock because I kept sleeping through my phone alarms. The first morning, it went off exactly when planned. I promptly turned it off, went back to sleep for “5 minutes,” and woke up 3 hours later. The clock had been set correctly. I had just gone straight back to sleep. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

26- please remove your ignorant picture. You don't need to preach on FML.

Its just a picture and i find it quite entertaining, plus im sure it was just a joke since it was on fail blog

30- I don't see why you dislike the picture. How do you like me saying I don't like your hairy caterpillar llama so please change it?

Tylersign - that picture isn't preaching at all. Read the bottom caption.

there is nothing better other than that feeling you get when you realize you have several more hours of sleep left (:

@1 - Sadly it isn't that easy for some. Sometimes if I'm woken up during the night I cannot go back to sleep. Or when I finally do its almost time to wake back up. Like last night I woke up at 2AM, but didn't get to sleep till like 5:30-6. I had to wake up at 6:30. D:

It's actually so true. I swim and get up at 4:40 AM 4 times a week for practice. When I think it's 4:40 and get all mad, I then look at the clock and it's like 2:00. It's the greatest feeling ever.

105 Oh the irony of that comment. Making a joke out of how he spelled it wrong, when you yourself spelled it wrong as well.

Who are you? The almighty picture approver? You can't tell people to remove their picture just cause you dislike it.

His pictures is making fun of the Christians that said that, because the sun does not burn or use oxygen, but rather compresses hydrogen into helium.

I love waking up at like 2 AM and then noticing the time and realizing you have a few more hours to sleep. I understand it would suck if you actually got up and got ready for work though.
TheDeadlyTurtle 7
I love that feeling of being able to fall back asleep I hate the feeling of waking up and checking the time and it says 9 and then ur late but u run outside and it's dark out >.< and then u find out its 9pm
Torva_fml 16
Has anyone else had a moment when your last hour or two f sleep feels like it lasted 10 hours? I've done that where I check the clock every 5 minutes or so, thinking I overslept. Awesome mornings, I feel like I slept for a day :)
builditbetter09 3
No but I've had that shitty moment when you Wake up and look at the clock only to find out you woke up 30min early.. Ruins my mornings -_-*

ShroomsOnAcid 17
Me too, but I also often hear things while I'm asleep that sound like they're coming from outside my dream, which wakes me up only for me to realize that ice cream truck I heard is nowhere in sight at 3am.

Is meeting people on FML weird?
diidiimi 10
I've also done that before, only I actually made it in to work at 6am. I remember wondering why the trains were so empty. Its a sign of stress i think I've also fallen asleep in the
twofirstnames 12
In the....what? Don't leave us hanging!(:
diidiimi 10
Sorry!! Strange probs meant my last post was incomplete... Should read... I've also done that before, only I actually made it in to work at 6am. I remember wondering why the trains were so empty. Its a sign of stress i think. I've also fallen asleep in the late afternoon, slept for what felt like hours and woken up at sunset thinking it was dawn. I had to flip through the tv channels to find out whether it was 6am or 6pm. Now that was a weird feeling!
TraceCase_ 19
Sleeping with the TV on can be dangerous... There are a few movies that use the same sound clip as the alarm ringtone on my phone. Usually when there's a scene with some sort of meltdown or emergency going on. Soo confusing when you only went to sleep an hour prior and your eyeballs feel like they're bleeding when you crack them open.

I did that this week actually, it was about 1:30 AM an when I look at the time, I feel like the clock is wrong, not me, because I'm so tired

I did it this morning and I was rushing because I thought I was last. Got to work and I was an hour and a half early. I have an hours commute. So I slept in the parking lot lol
Awsumuzzie 12
Wouldn't OP have to turn the alarm off, though? If that's the case, then OP should've noticed.

When you're drunk with exhaustion, you don't tend to think properly.

"Apparently my alarm never actually went off" Or am I missing something?

I know what u mean but maybe he thought it went off and turned itself off? Because I kno I have to do mine manually... Still, it's a fail

I don't see how OP's a moron. OP just forgot to Check the time. Most people do this at least once in their life. Even I.
