Today, my boyfriend read online that oversleeping has been linked to strokes later in life. He's now taken it upon himself to protect me by making sure that I have as minimal sleep as possible. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend informed me I need to stop staying up all night, because it's "really sketchy" and he feels "uncomfortable" not knowing what I'm doing, and why I'm awake. I'm an insomniac, I have been my whole life, and he knows this. FML
Today, my boyfriend had an appointment he had to wait months for, after he finally agreed to try to figure out what's making him so tired all the time. He slept through it. FML
Today, I discovered my boyfriend listens way better in his sleep than he does when he's awake. FML
Today, I realized my boyfriend only asks me to come spend the night when he needs me to wake him up in the morning. FML
Today, I woke up at noon after barely sleeping. I've been diagnosed with sleeping disorders, so this isn't out of the ordinary. The issue is, my boyfriend doesn't think it's a big deal, and is mad at me for wanting to stay in bed after he got up. FML
Today, after not being able to sleep for two hours because my boyfriend wouldn't stop talking, he fell asleep and I was left wide awake. I listened to him snore for another three hours and only got a couple of hours sleep. He's not working today, but I am. FML
Today, and like every day before it, my boyfriend’s snoring is keeping me up all night. FML
Today, I discovered that my boyfriend, who has frequent night terrors, also sleepwalks. And apparently sleep-pisses on the bathroom rug. FML
Today, I was in lying in bed with my boyfriend while he was asleep. He is going to school to be a doctor, and it appears that he says anatomical terms while asleep. My boyfriend can make me feel stupid in his sleep. FML
Today, my boyfriend woke up to me crying. He asked what was wrong, but before I could answer, he'd already rolled over and started snoring louder than ever, making the migraine I was crying about even worse. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Find an article that shows getting woken up by your BF a lot and not getting to sleep in or get much sleep leads to an increase in break ups or hospitalization due to severe foot to groin contact.

How is this even a FML? The fact that she sleeps less is related to FML. This app itself is a FML

What?

It's a joke of a FML. I realized I missed a few words out.
mbuck87 19
Were the words you missed the punch line?

Gift him with the information that lack of sleep causes weight gain, skin aging, confusion, increased heart disease risk, lower sex drive, and even sudden unexplained death in some people.

Well think about it this way he loves you enough to try to protect you in his own stupid way.

28- I think you missed the words that were the punchline. the groin contact...just to make sure you get it, shes going to kick him in the balls!

Yeah, there are just as many if not more issues linked with too little sleep as there are with too much. He needs to educate himself if he really cares about her health. In his defense, at least he seems to be trying to show he cares....

Do you sleep more than 8 hours a night? If not then he needs to regulate himself and not you. I've read that 7.5 hours per night is optimal sleep for adults. Also, is he waking you up after 8 hours of continuous sleep?

Get a smarter boyfriend...

I agree. Dump the dumb-ass and find somebody that has something between their ears.

My husband isn't the brightest crayon in the box but who is, really? Plus he loves me more than anything. It's so annoying when someone does one dumb thing and everyone thinks the person should leave them!

As dumb as what he's doing is, it's still nice he cares that much about her. It's not like he's doing something to be mean.

Guys, learn where dump him is appropiate.. I've seen MAYBE 2-3 FML's were it was slightly appropriate, but still a stretch..

Besides, if everyone took FML advice and dumped their stupid other eventually they would breed creating double recessive stupid children. Then we would really have a problem.

Seriously! Not one of these people knows anything about the OPs' significant others besides what was posted, and people fly off the handle with the "ERMAHGERD DUMP HIM/HER" comments.

Does he know not getting enough sleep is also bad? -_-
RinaVampire31 18
Does he not know that having less sleep is equally as bad? Could be worse actually..

spaboolly 26
Tell him that no matter what he does, you are both going to die anyway. And he can either enjoy life with you or waste it fretting about a future that can neither be predicted nor avoided.

Did your boyfriend also think the world was going to end last week?
mbuck87 19
Strangely, you are the first person I've seen taking credit for it. I believe you

Well I know he's doing it because he care's about you, however you just don't mess with a girls sleep so your should tell him when he wants to have sex sorry honey but having sex can give people a heartbreak and then tell him I'm only doing it because I care about you.

Heartbreak?
happle 21
I don't recall ever having heartbreak before, during, or after sex.

That's actually kind of sweet

Have him google "sleep deprivation health effects." He'll never wake you up again.
