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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

The strokes are linked to an underlying cause, a symptom is oversleeping so either way you might as well get some rest

He doesn't realize that lack of sleep also can potentially lead to a whole bunch of health problems as well, but I think his intentions are good. It's actually really sweet that he wants you to live a long and healthy life; it shows that even though he is misinformed, he does care a whole lot about you :)

I read the article: more than 8 hours per night MAY be linked to future strokes. Is he waking you up after 8 continuous hours of sleep or is he waking you up periodically throughout the night? One shows concern, the other is a control issue and leads to sleep deprivation and other serious problems.
