I oversleept this morning

Getting up late, especially for work is a horrible feeling! I've only done it a couple of times, but it always throws off the whole day. I figure there is no sense in getting super stressed about it though. Once you're late, there isn't much to do to fix it, so admit your guilt, say you're sorry and try REALLY hard not to do it again.

Naughty Anetteh! Oversleeping? That's not good for a nurse like you. Especially a nurse in the Geriatrics department. But let go... mistakes do happen. And though a medical myself, I oversleep sometimes.. work can get way too tiring! And I don't think I have yet learned a cure for oversleeping. Anyway, prevention is better than cure! And if I ever get up late, I never go to work, that is when I was a student at school. Or if I reach late for work, I would tell that the bus missed me. That's not a lie, but everyone knew that bus never missed me; but I missed the bus!

I am really not sure if I have been late for work. I try not to be and if I am I always call first. Now I don't have a job right now but the same would happen, I'd call and tell them I'd be just that few minutes late. Actually I do think I was late once, but that just by accident if I remember correctly. I'd of course apologize that I was late, not sure if I did that the one time I remember being late, but I think that I clocked in and they left in a hurry! lol!

Good thing you live near your workplace. Some people aren't as lucky as you are. My uncle lives very far away from his workplace like around 30 to 45 minutes away. And when he oversleeps, he dashes off immediately sometimes even without a shower or brushing his teeth. Good thing his bestfriend covers for him when this happens.

when i was working, if i know im gonna be late, i call our office and inform them i am going to be late and why... it really is upsetting sometimes when that happens especially when you really dont mean it and you dont want to be late. people in at work sometimes thinks we are getting lazy thats why we are late. good thing for you no one was waiting for you...that would really be something to be worried about. and you live close to your place of work.

well my friend i can understand how it feels when you over slept and you are really late for something. more over the monday mornings are the most challenging ones as far as i see. they are the mornings when you dont want to ge up and most of the time you end up getting late. :P and also i have seen that when you are not late, everything is one time. if you are waiting for a bus it will come quickly. you will never forget anything while leaving. but then that is not the challenge, the challenge comes when you are late. at that time you are bound to forget something or the other. you are bound to get late for the bus and the next one never comes on time. these are few things that i am sure you will also agree.

I tend to wake up at the same time every morning whether i use an alarm clock or not. I have used alarm clocks for so long, and have set them to ring at the same time, that I'm now trained to wake up at that time, even when I forget to set it. That sounds nice, if you worry about getting up on time, but it's really annoying when you are allowed to sleep in. On days when I don't have to be at work, I find it difficult to sleep in, since I'm "programed" to wake up at the same time as any other day. Being late for work is something of a problem for some people more than others. Obviously it depends on what level of supervision you have at work. Some people are watched all the time, while others are given more freedom when it comes to that. Then there are those who are self-employed. At first that sounds great as far as sleeping in goes. I was self-employed for 5 years once, and let me say, it isn't always a good thing when it comes to having freedom to sleep in, when you should be doing work. You need strong self-discipline. You may not get fired if you're self-employed and you're chronically late for work, but your work may suffer to the point where you can't make it any more. So ultimately, it can have the same effects as being fired.

When I oversleep, I wonder why it happened. And as I am thinking of the whys, I double check my alarm clock to see if it didn't go off for a reason. Although I really know I just plain slept through it because I stayed up to darn late the night prior. And if I had a scheduled appointment I missed, or it was a work day, I try to figure out just what to say when I call to make my excuses. Should I dare tell them the truth? Nah...My dog ate the alarm clock. Oh that won't work. My old naughty Australian Shepard Ceaser,who ate everything, had passed away long ago. And all my friends and associates were aware of that. So what do I say? Think....Think. I know. I will tell them my car broke down. OOPs I walk most everywhere I go. OH Well. I guess I will just have to tell the truth. Thats all. Then I will have to make plans to prevent this from happening again. So I call my sister who is never ever late for anything. And I ask her to give me a wakeup call. I know deep down how I enjoy staying up late. She tells me. "If you don't answer the phone when I ring it, I will ring your neck". So I go to bed early and wake up with the alarm. LOL! Caroline

hello anetteh! I was late for work yesterday and yes I did overslept. My time at work is 6 in the morning, and I woke at at 5 am already, the time that I should be leaving the house so I won't be late. I prepared really fast, took my shower, didn't eat my breakfast and woke up my husband so he would drive me to work. Good thing I was just late for 3 minutes. our trip was really fast because we use motorcycle. Lately, I have been late at work.

Hello anetteh!!! Well nowadays I am enjoying the holidays just after exam, and so, I don't have to take the tension of waking up early for the college. I don't have any important work to do really and so I am just relaxing nowadays. But it is not the same if I have to go to the college. I have to reach the college before 7 AM. So, you can imagine the consequence for waking up late. Nowadays I sleep at least till 7, but in those days I have to wake up as early as possible. But most of the time I used to be late hehe...I become so lazy in the morning, I open my eye but can't get out of the bed. Increase 5 minutes more in the alarm, and when it rings and again five minutes more finally I become late in waking up lol...And then I hurry to get prepared, go to toilet, brush my teeth, have my breakfast and then rush away lol. And I mostly become 5 minutes late in the class. I know this is the bad habit, but I try not to do that in the coming semester. But for now upto about 10 days, I have enjoy the bed hehe... Waking up late, always hampers our daily work. We also become so lazy and feels tired waking up late. Also I am sleeping late in the night at about 1 am or 2 am and that's why for now waking up at 8 seems to be fine for me currently. Happy mylotting...

I am a university student at present and recently I often oversleep and come late for my lessons. Luckily, it is not a big deal to skip classes in university. Therefore, when I get up late, I just hang around in my dormitory and do my own things, in most cases, surfing the internet...

i have experienced that i will oversleep,u know my friends in mylots i always oversleep thats why im always late too.of my work,im very angry of my sister if ''hindi niya ako ginising talagang galit na galit ako sa kanya''she said me ,why u angry with me ?coz im late of my work i sleep in over i was crying before while im crying,im washing my face then im change my clothes for work then i was late ,how about u, are you blaming your sister if u oversleep then u late for work????????

I don't believe I have ever been late for work at the current job that I am at. The advantage of it is that it is really close to my house, just five to ten minutes away at the most. I have set an alarm on my phone to wake me up to my favorite song and that usually helps get me up in the mornings. Thankfully I haven't been able to sleep through the alarm. I on the other hand know of a friend who she puts three alarms in order for her to wake up. I try my best to plan out my day in order to make sure that I am not late on things that are important. I do rely on work in order to get paid, so if I don't work I don't get paid and can't get my bills taken care of so it is of importance to me. That is why I make sure I sleep early and get plenty of rest to not oversleep.

I have a good habit of no oversleeping.of course ,a occasional oversleep is not bad thing .nothing ,let you feel well
