Today, my new roommate woke me up at noon to bitch about my "selfish sleeping habits" and how they ruin her ability to invite anyone over. I work the graveyard shift at the hospital. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my roommate gets up at 3:30am for work and wakes me up each time. I try not to complain about it, but whenever I come back to the apartment at midnight, she gets mad that I woke her up. I told her that she wakes me up in the morning, but apparently that’s different because she’s going to work. FML
Today, I started my new shift schedule. They run on the policy: "Early is on time, on time is late." My shift starts at 6 in the morning. It's now 11pm and my wife called me a selfish bastard for asking her to get off Whatnot so I can sleep. FML
Today, my roommate set her extremely loud alarm clock for 5am and continued to hit the snooze button every ten minutes until 7:30. FML
Today, my roommate's extremely loud and obnoxious alarm went off six times, waking me up each time, before she finally gave up on hitting the snooze button and went back to sleep for good. FML
Today, I clocked into work completely exhausted despite having gone to bed early. My roommates stayed up until 4am watching a movie, blasting music, and constantly giggling like madwomen. This is their "new and improved" schedule. FML
Today, my roommate is rampaging in the house at 1:00 a.m. because her stuff was moved out of the pantry for the new person, after being asked several times to move it herself. Apparently, she didn't see the text message heads-up, because she refuses to use her phone as a source of connection. FML
Today, my roommate told me there is some restricted number that keeps calling and waking her up at odd hours of the night. She then says she's getting the police involved to find out who it is because she feels "harassed". I'm the restricted caller calling to wake her up from snoring so loud. FML
Today, my new roommate, who seemed to get along with me just fine up until now, has requested to switch to a different room. Apparently, I was making racist comments in my sleep. FML
Today, I'm working 12-hour overnight shifts for the next three days. My fiancee can't seem to grasp the concept of sleeping during the day, and keeps coming into the bedroom and telling me to stop being lazy. FML
Today, it's been three days since I started working 12-hour night shifts. My neighbors have now decided to renovate their house. They're focusing on the rooms sharing my wall. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's so rude of her, not everyone is on the same sleep schedule.

If the place is under your name, you do have the option to kick her out. I understand your pain since I also work in the hospital and I work both day and night shifts.

The graveyard shift is hard to adjust to for everyone in the house- my husband recently started working that shift at a prison. Myself and my roommate are not annoyed by it though... That's so selfish. Your roommate should be more understanding. If you don't handle a shift like that correctly, you could end up with Shift Work Sleep Disorder. Keep working hard and disregard her rude comments OP!

Oh my god, I have no sympathies with anyone who would wake someone up to bitch about ANYTHING. A short while ago, I had to travel with a group to the other end of the country for a qualifier which could have been a great opportunity. Since it was such a long journey, we were staying overnight and I was in a room with a girl I know and another who we'd only me through the process. I was more than slightly worried about the whole thing as I sleep terribly; it can take me hours to get to sleep and I often find myself awakening at stupid times such as 3am, 5am, when it becomes impossible for me to get back to sleep before it's time to wake up. By some miracle, I managed to get lucky and fall asleep relatively early, however, since apparently I snore a little (I don't know how much; if I ever went to the extend of trying to record it, I wouldn't be able to get to sleep for worrying about the recording) the two other girls in the room decided to wake me up by throwing those little packets of UHT milk from the morning supplies at me. Eventually, I woke up whilst they were giggling with these little packets of milk everywhere. Needless to say, I was more than lsightly angry about the whole experience, especially as I then only got another half-hour of sleep, tops as the girl we'd just met recently kept calling her drunk boyfriend on speakerphone. Since my stress tends to peak when I'm tired and irritated, I then failed the qualifier the next day and basically, the whole experience sucked so much that I'm now going to go and retroactively post it as an FML. Whoa. That was long. TL;DR? (A while ago), I managed to fall asleep in a travel hotel despite being a bad sleeper, only to have the two other girls in the room throw packets of UHT milk at me until I woke up. I then spent the rest of the night starkly awake whilst one of them repeatedly called her drunk boyfriend on speaker, FML.

Did you guys not discuss this at all before moving in together, or before you got that job?

You should wake her up after getting off work. And complain how her being asleep keeps you from having people over.
