Maybe it is the affect of weather, or we are getting lazy from day to day. I once overslept the hours, and luckily, my mom woke me up, so I can still make it on time to work. Another co - worker of mine, who was late for twice in a week. Fortunately, my boss won't accuse him anything wrongdoing. This morning, my friend, also my co - worker late for work over an hour. We thought he gonna call in for sick or something. But hour later, he shows up, and he was honest enough to tell the truth that he overslept. Is it happen to you before that you oversleep and late for work?

That happens to everyone from time to time. I have had that happen to me. FOr some reason we must be very tired, because the few times that I overslept I was actually dreaming about that it was the weekend. So I overslept. I was honest also with the boss. They were understanding.

If I overslept, I will definitely take leave unless there is some urgent things to handle. It will leave a bad impression to be late for an hour as compared to taking urgent leave

Yhea it happens normally if I took my afternoon nap, and when I woke up I missed my appointment. In the morning I have my body clock that's why I automatically get up.

The only instance I really recall was when I was going to tech school and I thought it was my day off and working full time and going to school full time you are just plain exhausted even being fresh out of high school and young still knocked my socks off. Either way I was sleeping at like 2pm and I got a phone call from my boss that said I was supposed to be at work some time ago and where was I. I swore it was my day off and I was catching up on some much needed sleep. So I had to hussel and get my rear to work... I was so embarassed. I was lucky too that I didn't get in trouble either.

Well, till now I haven't got into a situation where I find myself late for my work. Whenever I go out for work in the morning, there is someone or the other to wake me up on time. So, it has never happened that I get late to work. But during my holidays, I actually oversleep. I sleep late in the night and then end up waking late in the morning around the afternoon time. I know this is a very bad habit of mine, but I really cannot help it. My eyes just don't open until I am well relaxed! Lol! But I'll surely try to get rid of this habit and try waking up early during my holidays too! :)

I almost always oversleep but not to that extent. Although there was this one time that I vaguely remember where I overslept 'cause I was so tired the night before. I swore at that time that I didn't actually hear any sound from my alarm clock and I was such in a deep sleep that when I woke up, I had like only 30 minutes to prepare for work. I was so embarrassed and came late for work. I really can't afford to come late for work anymore because my boss is pretty strict when it comes to time and tardiness. For them it's a lost time once you are late even just for a minute or two.
