MY ALARM!

I almost never ever oversleep. Ever. The most important thing I can think of is that I was once *almost* late for work because I hit snooze on my alarm and didn't notice. Luckily I was woken up by my sister texting me asking treats in exchange for a ride, so I made it.

Uh, during the summer when I was in college, I probably 'overslept' for church. But I didn't want to go in the first place, so I missed nothing of value there. Or maybe I slept through breakfast but no big deal.
 
I usually sleep in a lot during holidays, resulting in me missing morning TV shows I intend to watch.

It's because I have late nights, blame PC for that.
 
An exam lol :x It wasn't a very important one and I resat it in June the same year, but even so I was sooooo embarrassed. I faked a chronic stomach ache when people asked where I was haha.
 
Just school or work, and even then I usually still wake up before I'm late. I've had to rush like mad, skip breakfast, and run out the door, but that's usually the worst it gets.

I've never missed a flight or anything really important because I set more than one alarm for those just in case.
 
Just school, but it was never on a very important day. I'm really good about waking up on time.
 
I only oversleep in my worst nightmares. :(
 
Not sure if it counts, but I purposefully slept through my organic chemistry classes all last semester because I hated the class, the teacher, and the amount of assignments I had to do. Thankfully there's an alternative class I can take later to fulfill the requirement.

By the way, when I say "slept through" I don't mean 'go to class and sleep,' I'm talking straight-up blowing it off.
 
School. I don't think I've ever done that for when I had a job, I know that happened when I had some school functions back when I was in high school, but I don't remember them clearly enough to be able to tell you if it's right or not.
 
Normally work!
I don't sleep in often, but the only things I have slept in on that mattered, was normal work days; never been more than 15 minutes late for work in my life though.​

Rawr, this still makes me mad because it happened this past term at school. I had this huge econ exam worth a lot of my grade that I studied my ass off for....and then what happens? I sleep right through the damn exam. How I slept through my alarm going off three times, idk, because I'm such a light sleeper :/
 
I don't really oversleep much anymore, thought there was a point where I just never heard my alarm because of how heavy a sleeper I was, which resulted in getting late to school a lot. I don't think I've missed the bus yet ever since I moved, though my sleeping habits have changed quite drastically anyways xD

But the most important thing has probably been a concert with my band a while back. It wasn't really anything exceptional, though it was still pretty emberassing when they had to call it off because I wasn't there, and I was the only guitarist they had :(
 
I slept through my whole birthday before back in 2008, woke up in a haze surrounded by presents before I suddenly remembered what day it was but I was mostly grateful that nobody woke me up for the day.
 
The biggest thing I've ever slept through was a booster class for my GCSE art class. It wasn't that important, but it could've pushed me from a Pass to a Merit grade.
I don't oversleep much because I have an awesome mum who'd pour water over my face if I ever overslept.
 
I don't think I have ever really overslept through anything. I always tend to wake up waaaaaaay before I really need to. :\

Although there was one time I accidentally fell asleep in English class during a movie, and we ended up having a test on it. I didn't do all that well on that one...:\
 
I've missed school from sleeping through my alarm tons of times, especially lately when I often only sleep from passing out from exhaustion after being up too long. (Whee, insomnia!) But luckily, I've never missed anything overly important (presentation, exam, etc.) from sleeping in. I tend to either forego sleep when I know there's something important in the morning and I don't trust myself to wake up for it or I'll set like 6 alarms on multiple devices in the hopes that one of them will wake me up. I'll also ask my mom to give me a wake-up call, haha.

Most important thing I've slept through was probably a doctor's appointment. It wasn't with a specialist or anything, thankfully, but ironically it was with my family doctor to get a refill on my prescription for sleeping pills. :P
 
Meh, work? Just once, though, and it really didn't matter. The guys there don't know my schedule, so it was all good.
