Just last few days,this true incident was happened not on me but my colleague. He was overslept. He only realized the time was late when one of our clerks called him up,how terrible was him. I really don't know what was going wrong with him. He was overslept for more an hour than our working time. Imagine if our clerk did not call him up,he still slept soundly on his bed,lol. After he was called up to get to work,he rushed clumsily to work. By the time he reached our workplace,still with the sleepy face. And of course my manager questioned him for being late, and some sort like gave him a warning for the careless mistake. What do you think about this? Did you experience this before? How bad could it be? Please share with me,have a good day.

I used to fetch my son from work at 2am so would sleep for a few hours and have my alarm go off at 1am to make sure I was awake enough to drive to his work. One night my mobile rang & it was my son asking where I was. I'd accidentally set the alarm for 1PM so hadnt woken up.

No, I have a problem where I get up too early and then I'm tired for the rest of the day. But, I know of a lot of people who are constantly late for work and then when they get there, they're in a bad mood. I think they spend way too much time up late at night partying. This is especially true when I have to work on Saturday mornings. That's their own fault and I don't feel sorry for them, especially when they lose their jobs or get their hours cut.

Hey there, It happened to my friend once. He overslept on the one of the final examination day and he has to repeat the subject because the lecturer could not accept the fact that he missed the exam because he overslept (Well, you know how lecturers are...sigh...). It happened to me some times but I never really missed a REALLY important event because I overslept.
