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?

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.

Sleep deprivation can make you gain weight. Tell him that and I don't think he'll wake you up as much;)

Or maybe her boyfriend isn't shallow as **** and wouldn't care if OP gained a few pounds. Assuming she is a healthy weight and those extra pounds aren't going to cause further health problems on top of the sleep deprivation.

It's shallow to want your partner physically fit?

Define "oversleeping". I do believe everyone is different when it comes to this. I live off 6 hours. If I get 8+ I feel groggy, tired, and horrible. So I describe that as "oversleep" so am I going to have a stroke later on that has to do with this?

I am the same way. If I get more than 4 hours at a time I get groggy and disoriented. I usually can go up to 4 days on 4 hours sleep. Everyone is different though. Some people need up to 12 hours of sleep some need less. Op perhaps a long talk is in order.

Don't get mad, get glad.

It seems to me that by you getting only minimal sleep that this would only increase his chances of getting strokes.

You would break up with because he's trying to keep you from having a stroke? I understand why ops pissed I would be too, but she doesn't have to break up with him, he was just doing it cuz he cares

His heart is in the right place. Just try doing what others have advised and explain what sleep deprivation is to him.

Show him articles about how lack of sleep can **** up your body.

Tell him that if he keeps this up, he's guaranteed never to have another "stroke".

He is quite sweet... Hang on to him.. Just educate him that EVERYTHING that's up on the internet needn't always be true... I m sure he will get it. In the meantime, hang in there, OP.
