OH! Quite funny!! It has happened with me many times. My alarm always goes at the wrong time....that is what I feel, when my sleep gets disturbed in the morning....LOL! It is, therefore, I set the mobile clock alarm in such a manner that one after other, two alarms disturb my sleep, after the gap of 5 minutes. However, sometimes, I feel very sleepy and tired, then even two alarm fails to get me up. But my better half won't allow me to sleep in the morning....because she knows...if I do not get up........who will fetch the milk. Even on holidays, I am supposed to get up on time to fetch the milk.

Ofcourse, it always happens with me because I am a bit lazy guy. I am used to get late in the morning even I dont get up myself with the help of alarm, my mother everytime forces me to get up. One day, there was my paper at my college and I couldn't get enough sleep by night. Other when I got up, I was late and I failed to find enough time to prepare. That day was my shocking event and I had to be scoulded by my father unfortunately. Regards

Ofcourse, I passed it because, I got ti the examination hall after half an hour and the Examinar was very sweet and caring, he let me come inside the examination hall and facilitated me with paper and answer sheet. I completed all required questions in time with minimum words. On the when the Results had to be annouced, I was passed with passing marks. Isn't cool ???

Hi apsara, the time I tend to indulge in sleeping is the moment I awaken by the disgusting noise made by the alarm clock. If I press the cancel button and keep on sleep surely I will feel regret as I would over sleep and be late to work. This had happened once to me few years back. I felt embarrassed to enter the office for being late for more than an hour. Since then I always get up when the morning alarm clock is ringing. Anyhow there is a user friendly function in my cellphone which could wake me up 5 or 10 minutes later after the ringing of the first alarm. This always could let me to enjoy the extra time for sleeping safely

It surely happens almost everyday. The mind is really willing to wake up but the body is weak to obey. lol. Am sure almost everybody is a victim of this. I really like when it is week end because I have no worry to set the alarm clock and I can wake up anytime I want.

That has happened to me before also! Fortunately, it hasn't really happened to me in awhile, but I can remember several times over the past few years when I accidentally turned off the alarm clock instead of pressing the snooze button, and then fell back asleep without even realizing it! Usually, I ended up sleeping through a whole class before I woke up and realized how late it was. Sometimes I even would get confused and think that my alarm had never gone off, until I finally remembered that I had just turned it off by accident! Fortunately, I never seemed to miss anything terribly important when that happened. That always gives me a real scare!

Thank God you were always lucky to have things under control before it was too late. It happened to me once that in my sleep I saw that alarm rang and like a very good girl, I got up and also reached my office on time, while in reality I was still sleeping.....such a scary situation.......lol.

Once, I hit a button on the alarm clock, thinking it was the snooze, but I really turned the alarm off! My internal clock woke me up with ten minutes before I needed to wheels down on the ground, on the way to work. I learned things that day that serve me well. I had no idea I had super-sonic speed until I arrived at work five minutes early!

I had this several times.I always set alarm to ring twice.The second will ring after five minutes from the first. When the first alarm rings i off and lay some more minutes waiting for the second.Then in the second time i wakes up. But eventhough i had the problem as you said.I had missed my bus.But fortunately that did not make any problems.Thanks

That happened to me once I was studying for an exam the night before then slept late, i figured, I'd take the remaining hours and try to get some sleep and so i set the alarm to 3 hours. When i woke up i realized i heard the alarm but i remember first that i wasn't waking up to something important so i just shut it off and went back to sleep, good thing i remembered a couple of minutes after then i went on and took the exam..damn

This always happen to me especially during school days. I set my alarm 2 hours before my first class to give me ample time to prepare (you know how girls take forever to get ready, right? LOL), and when my alarm rings, I pick it ip, hit snooze to delay it for 10 minutes. Guess what, 10 minutes become an hour, I became oblivious of the 10 minute snooze alarm and drifted off to sweet slumber again. Luckily, I still had an hour, I just got ready the fastest way possible.

Oh this happens with me most of the time. I set the alarm for 5-30 and when it starts to snooze I stop it and get back to sleep. Again it rings after 10 mins I again stop it and roll ...this continues. Those few minutes of slumber is so satisfying, I tell you! And on some days I would press the key to stop the snooze completely and get late. My mom thinks I am having a day off! And guess what I have to do my schedule in 15-20 mins - which is almost impossible. And to top it if I have a bad hair day - then I just have had it! So, I do all my stuffs like washing my hair, arranging my bag, ironing my dress the night before. That kind of helps. I wish I could even eat my breakfast the night before. lol... lol....

Well, U just remind me of my school and college days. It would happen with me often In school days, when i was at home, i was in a habit of getting up early to study rather than staudy late night. It would happen with me that i would shut the alarm and go back to sleep saying to myself that i will get up in a few mins. BUt i would get up only to find myself slapped by my mother sleeping when i would have been studying. Once it happened so that i was supposed to get milf from dairy. It was during the time of winters. I got up early in the morning to study. I put the water on heater for bathing. NAd i just got to sleep. When i woke up i was laready half an hour late to get the milk and that water was like boiling.. It happened with me often i college days also that i would put up my alarm to get up early in the morning to have a breakfast and i would switch off my alarm to wake up so late atht i would even miss the morning lecture. Then onwards i would get to have a breakfast only when i make a night-out.. Een in todays life. i need to rush to catch the bus to my office whenver i get late after swiching off the alarm and go back to sleep for some more minutes..

Ahhh i did no read other people responses but i am sure their will be hardly any one who can say that this never happen to them As far i am concern, i have fix time to wake up, and hardly need alarm to wake me up, but one day i was alone so precautionary i set the alarm and when it rang, i shut it down, watch the time and decided that i will wake up after 15 minutes, and next time i wake up when my mom was knocking at my door after one hour to ask if i am not going to office??? then i wake up, take bath, have breakfast and went to office and i was almost half an hour late So it happens Take care

Yes, well my girlfriend and I wake up at the same time each morning. We call each other right when we wake up, but a few days ago she called me and she was still extremely tired. I told her to go back to sleep for about 15 minutes and that I would wake her up. But guess what? I fell asleep also, I set up an alarm just in case I did, but apperantly she woke up 25mins after and she woke ME up. I thought she was going to be mad at me, but it was my birthday so she let it slip. haha
